2020 Annual Report + Form 10-K

Dear Fellow Shareholders,

While 2020 was not the year any of us expected or would want to relive, it presented an opportunity for
Alexander & Baldwin ("A&B" or "Company") to display the values, commitment and capabilities that
distinguish our Company and position it for long-term success in Hawai‘i commercial real estate (CRE). We
started the year intending to advance our strategic agenda while celebrating our 150th anniversary — honoring
our past while actively repositioning the Company for a very different future. Though the celebrations were
cut short, the important work of reshaping the Company continued and the pandemic gave us an opportunity
to live out our core values and to demonstrate that we are partners for Hawai‘i.

Despite the unprecedented challenges faced by our tenants, our communities, our employees and their
families, we were able to execute on all our strategic priorities while supporting our stakeholders. In our core
CRE business, we focused on preserving net operating income (NOI) and occupancy in the face of the
pandemic; we successfully advanced our non-core asset monetization program — selling many assets and
positioning others for sale; we simplified our organization; and we expanded our commitment to
environmental, social and governance (ESG) initiatives. As a result, we have made significant progress toward
our end goal of becoming a focused, efficient, commercial real estate company, with an attractive portfolio
and the ability to grow that portfolio strategically.

Focused on the Long Term

As the pandemic took hold in 2020, we focused on preservation of NOI and tenancy amid the uncertainty
of COVID. We moved to a fully virtual orientation in our offices, took steps to preserve our access to capital
and focused on the survival of tenants across our portfolio. We supported our tenants in their efforts to remain
open for business, and when that wasn’t possible due to COVID closure rules, we sought to help them
withstand the financial pressure associated with shutdowns. We felt it was preferable to sacrifice near-term
rent in favor of longer-term tenancy. While it is too early to assess the full success of this strategy, we know it
was right for our communities and believe it will position us for a strong post-COVID rebound.

Our portfolio of grocery-anchored shopping centers and light industrial assets has performed relatively
well despite the devastating impact of COVID on Hawai‘i’s visitor industry. Only six percent of our pre-
pandemic NOI came from resort properties, helping to mitigate the impact of the pandemic on our business.
Still, no portfolio is immune to a broad economic downturn, and the same tourism shutdown that enabled
Hawai‘i to have the best COVID outcomes of any state in the nation also created a significant economic
slump. Hawai‘i’s unemployment rate went from the nation’s second lowest to the nation’s second highest over
the course of just one month last spring.

But just as our economy declined disproportionately with COVID, we believe it is poised to recover
disproportionately post-COVID and is already doing so. At the time of this letter, over 98% of our portfolio is
open and the economic outlook for Hawai‘i is meaningfully improving, with the seasonally adjusted
unemployment rate dropping to 9.3% as of December 2020, from a high of 23.8% in April of 2020, and travel
restrictions being lifted. We ended the year with total portfolio occupancy of 93.5%, down just 40 basis points
from 2019. We also leased over 900,000 square feet in 2020, at spreads of 7.3% portfolio-wide, and continued
to execute on our redevelopment at Aikahi Park Shopping Center.

Focused on Simplification

While the pandemic made it challenging for buyers of real estate to perform due diligence, buyer demand
for our assets never wavered. Throughout the pandemic, we saw continued appetite for land and operating

businesses in Hawai‘i, which proves the enduring value of our assets. For the full year, we closed 18 units at our
Kukui‘ula joint venture project, generating total proceeds for the joint venture of $25.7 million. We also sold
the Port Allen Solar Facility on Kauai for $17.2 million and generated $17.6 million of revenue from the sale
of land at Maui Business Park II and non-core landholdings. We expect this demand to continue and, as travel
restrictions continue to ease, non-core sales activity to strengthen.

While we understand the importance of selling our Materials and Construction business to achieve our
ultimate goal of focus on commercial real estate, we made the strategic decision in 2020 to put our marketing
process for Grace Pacific on hold. The combination of COVID-related uncertainty in the M&A market and
the underperformance of Grace Pacific in recent years convinced us the time was not right. Since then,
however, we have steadily improved performance in Materials and Construction. We continue to make
operational improvements, grow our backlog, simplify our business, and strip out costs. We are encouraged by
our success in 2020, having achieved positive EBITDA for the full year, and we are very focused on our
disposition objectives going forward.

Focused on our Community

Entering 2020, we knew we wanted to grow our commitment to ESG, particularly as part of our 150th
anniversary year. While unexpected, COVID gave us the opportunity to demonstrate our corporate citizenship
and our commitment to be partners for our community. During 2020, we contributed to 230 local
organizations and non-profits, provided assistance to our neighbors through food giveaways and helped our
tenants stay operational through COVID. We embraced diversity and social causes in our workplace, including
supporting employee affinity groups like A&B Pride and our Women’s Leadership Initiative. We also
recognized the risks posed by climate change and continued our commitment to energy efficiency and creating
a resilient future for Hawai‘i. We advanced sustainability efforts across our CRE portfolio, including large
scale renewable energy generation and raw material recycling.

Our efforts have been recognized by many third parties: we won awards for our adaptive re-use of the old
Macy’s building in Kailua that is now Lau Hala Shops, including the Gold Award for renovations/expansions
from ICSC North America; Nareit recognized A&B with its annual Silver Award for Diversity, Equity and
Inclusion; and Pacific Business News recognized us with a Corporate Award at its annual Business of Pride
event.

Finally, we refreshed our Board, increasing its independence and adding new perspectives, while

maintaining its ethnic and gender diversity.

These efforts are summarized in our Inaugural Corporate Responsibility Report, where we have shared

our progress on ESG goals that embrace SASB’s materiality model across our organization.

Looking Ahead

As we look to the future — we are optimistic that better days are ahead for Hawai‘i and A&B. We believe
our community-based portfolio is more important than ever. Grocery-anchored necessity retail and services,
combined with light industrial to serve local ecommerce fulfillment, were proven to be critically important
during COVID and we expect this to continue in a post-COVID environment.

Second, we believe that Hawai‘i has demonstrated its resilience. The state reopened for travel in
October 2020 and unemployment has been falling. As I write this, our Governor and Mayors are actively but
carefully lifting restrictions, vaccination rates are rising and there is optimism for significant growth in visitors
this summer. While our portfolio is not heavily reliant on tourism, we expect that A&B will benefit significantly
from this anticipated recovery and a rising economic tide in Hawai‘i. As a result of this optimism, we resumed
our dividend in December 2020 at a level we believe is sustainable and from which we hope to be able to grow.

Finally, we remain focused on simplifying our business through non-core land sales, improving our
operations at Grace Pacific for future disposition and taking steps to streamline our organization. We believe
institutional capital is attracted to Hawai‘i real estate and operating assets as much as ever, positioning us well
for continued simplification progress in 2021. We believe that the benefits of simplification will be significant
for A&B shareholders.

In closing, while much of our daily life changed in 2020, our commitment to Hawai‘i did not. We have
greater focus and perspective, having overcome the challenges of the past year, and we intend to apply those
lessons and grow in 2021 and beyond in ways that will benefit all stakeholders.

Acknowledgements

More than ever, I am appreciative of the commitment of our employees. They demonstrated their
dedication to our Company and communities in 2020 while dealing with the stresses of the pandemic and
keeping themselves, their families and each other safe. And I am equally grateful to our Board, which has been
actively engaged in our pandemic response while never losing sight of our strategic objectives. I want to thank
Stan Kuriyama, who retired from our Board in October after 28 years with A&B, having contributed
immensely to our success over the years. And I want to thank our new chairman, Eric Yeaman, and lead
independent director, Doug Pasquale, for the collaboration and leadership they are providing.

Finally, I thank you, our shareholders, for your continued support of our Company.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. (“A&B” or “Company”) uses non-GAAP measures when evaluating operating
performance because management believes that they provide additional insight into the Company’s and
segments’ core operating results, and/or the underlying business trends affecting performance on a consistent
and comparable basis from period to period. These measures generally are provided to investors as an
additional means of evaluating the performance of ongoing core operations. The non-GAAP financial
information presented herein should be considered supplemental to, and not as a substitute for or superior to,
financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

NOI is a non-GAAP measure used internally in evaluating the unlevered performance of the Company’s
Commercial Real Estate portfolio. The Company believes NOI provides useful information to investors
regarding the Company’s financial condition and results of operations because it reflects only the contractual
income and cash-based expense items that are incurred at the property level. When compared across periods,
NOI can be used to determine trends in earnings of the Company’s properties as this measure is not affected
by non-contractual revenue (e.g., straight-line lease adjustments required under GAAP); by non-cash expense
recognition items (e.g., the impact of depreciation and amortization expense or impairments); or by other
expenses or gains or losses that do not directly relate to the Company’s ownership and operations of the
properties (e.g., indirect selling, general, administrative and other expenses, as well as lease termination
income). The Company believes the exclusion of these items from operating profit (loss) is useful because the
resulting measure captures the contractually-based revenue that is realizable (i.e., assuming collectability is
deemed probable) and the direct property-related expenses paid or payable in cash that are incurred in
operating the Company’s Commercial Real Estate portfolio, as well as trends in occupancy rates, rental rates
and operating costs. NOI should not be viewed as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated
in accordance with GAAP.

The Company reports NOI and Occupancy on a Same-Store basis, which includes the results of
properties that were owned and operated for the entirety of the prior calendar year and current reporting
period, year-to-date. The Company believes that reporting on a Same-Store basis provides investors with
additional information regarding the operating performance of comparable assets separate from other factors
(such as the effect of developments, redevelopments, acquisitions or dispositions).

PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Business and Strategy

Alexander  &  Baldwin,  Inc.  ("A&B"  or  the  "Company")  is  a  fully  integrated  real  estate  investment  trust  ("REIT") 
whose history in Hawai‘i dates back to 1870. Over time, the Company has evolved from a 571-acre sugar plantation on Maui to 
become  one  of  Hawai‘i's  premier  commercial  real  estate  companies  and  the  owner  of  the  largest  grocery-anchored, 
neighborhood  shopping  center  portfolio  in  the  state.  After  a  long  period  as  a  holding  company  of  operationally  and 
geographically diverse business interests and assets, the Company established a strategic intent to become a Hawai‘i-focused 
commercial real estate company, positioning the Company to create value for both shareholders and the community using its 
extensive local market knowledge and real estate expertise. To execute this strategy, the Company has endeavored to expand 
and  strengthen  its  Hawai‘i  commercial  real  estate  platform  and  simplify  its  business,  primarily  through  monetizing  non-core 
assets and businesses.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company's commercial real estate portfolio resides entirely in Hawai‘i and consists of 
22 retail centers, ten industrial assets and four office properties, representing a total of 3.9 million square feet of gross leasable 
area ("GLA"), as well as 153.8 acres of land under ground leases. In total (inclusive of its commercial real estate portfolio), the 
Company owns over 28,000 acres of land in Hawai‘i, primarily conservation- and agriculture-zoned, but also urban-zoned land.

The Company operates three segments: Commercial Real Estate; Land Operations; and Materials & Construction. A 

description of each of the Company's reporting segments is as follows:

•

•

Commercial  Real  Estate  ("CRE")  -  This  segment  functions  as  a  vertically  integrated  real  estate  investment 
company  with  core  competencies  in  investments  and  acquisitions  (i.e.,  identifying  opportunities  and  acquiring 
properties);  construction  and  development  (i.e.,  designing  and  ground-up  development  of  new  properties  or 
repositioning  and  redevelopment  of  existing  properties);  and  in-house  leasing  and  property  management  (i.e., 
executing new and renegotiating renewal lease arrangements, managing its properties' day-to-day operations and 
maintaining positive tenant relationships). The Company's preferred asset classes include improved properties in 
retail and industrial spaces and also urban ground leases. Its focus within improved retail properties, in particular, 
is on grocery-anchored neighborhood shopping centers that meet the daily needs of Hawai‘i citizens. Through its 
core  competencies  and  with  its  experience  and  relationships  in  Hawai‘i,  the  Company  seeks  to  create  special 
places that enhance the lives of Hawai‘i residents and to provide venues and opportunities that enable its tenants to 
thrive. Income from this segment is principally generated by owning, operating and leasing real estate assets. 

Land  Operations  -  This  segment  includes  the  Company's  legacy  assets  and  landholdings  that  are  subject  to  the 
Company's  simplification  and  monetization  effort.  Financial  results  from  this  segment  are  principally  derived 
from real estate development and land sales, income/loss from real estate joint ventures, hydroelectric energy and 
other legacy business activities.

• Materials & Construction ("M&C") - This segment operates as Hawai‘i's largest asphalt paving contractor and is 
one of the state's largest natural materials and infrastructure construction companies. Such activities are primarily 
conducted  through  its  wholly-owned  subsidiary,  Grace  Pacific  LLC  ("Grace  Pacific"),  a  materials  and 
construction company in Hawai‘i.

Of the Company's total consolidated assets as of  December 31, 2020, 73.7% are within the CRE segment, 12.7% are 

within Land Operations and 10.4% are within Materials & Construction (with the remainder unallocated and used for corporate 
purposes). Additional information about the Company's business segments is provided in Management's Discussion and 
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Part II, 
Item 7 and Item 8 of this report, respectively.

1

The Company's strategy is principally focused on:

•

Increasing  recurring  income  streams  by  leveraging  several  sources  of  Commercial  Real  Estate  portfolio  growth 
including: 

◦

◦

◦

◦

◦

Effective leasing and property management;

Repositioning and redevelopment of existing assets;

Ground-up development of new assets;

Acquisitions of new assets using tax-deferred exchange funds from land/property sales; and

Acquisitions of new assets using the Company's balance sheet.

•

Executing on its simplification strategy which includes:

◦ Monetizing development-for-sale pipeline and related investments,

◦ Monetizing the Company's other legacy, non-core assets and landholdings; and

◦

Exploring the potential monetization of non-core operating businesses in both the Land Operations and 
Materials & Construction segments.

•

Continuing  to  practice  disciplined  and  prudent  financial  management  and  capital  allocation  to  maintain  balance 
sheet strength and financial flexibility.

Key strategic activities and initiatives by segment are discussed below.

Commercial Real Estate strategy

The Company's commercial real estate strategy focuses on Hawai‘i, where it benefits from its broad experience base, 
deep relationships and strong reputation in the islands. These attributes, and a geographic focus in Hawai‘i, uniquely position 
the Company to create value through the acquisition, development, redevelopment and management of commercial real estate 
in  the  state.  The  Company  believes  the  Hawai‘i  market  offers  high  value  opportunities  for  the  Company  to  pursue  attractive 
growth and position itself for long-term stability given its geographic location, high barriers to entry and lack of commercially-
entitled  lands  (i.e.,  comparatively  low  square  footage  per  capita  of  strip-retail  gross  leasable  area  on  Oahu).  Based  on  these 
factors,  the  Company  believes  the  Hawai‘i  retail  market  compares  favorably  with  other  top-tier  retail  markets  in  the  U.S. 
Similarly,  given  the  severe  shortage  of  industrial  land  supply  in  Hawai‘i,  industrial  market  rents  and  per-square-foot  values 
generally  exceed  those  achieved  in  other  U.S.  markets,  making  Hawai‘i  a  high-performing  industrial  market,  despite  its 
geographic  isolation.  In  addition,  the  Hawai‘i  commercial  real  estate  market  has  been  historically  supported  by  the  state's 
tourism industry (fueled by Hawai‘i's unique brand and appeal), as well as consistently high levels of government spending due 
to  Hawai‘i's  strategic  defense  location  between  the  continental  U.S.  and  Asia.  Therefore,  the  Company  has  strategically 
concentrated its assets in Hawaii, where management is best able to enhance portfolio performance and create value.

To further enhance asset quality and increase the recurring income stream from its commercial portfolio, the Company 

intends to:

•

Increase income and optimize returns on its commercial portfolio by:

◦

◦

◦

◦

◦

Being  the  landlord  of  choice  by  providing  desirable  locations,  quality  properties,  landlord  services  and 
community amenities;

Leveraging  internal  property  management  and  leasing  to  efficiently  manage  operations  and  maximize 
cash returns over the long term;

Executing  effective  marketing  and  leasing  strategies  that  attract  quality  tenants  in  the  marketplace  and 
new tenants to Hawai‘i by leveraging its position as the largest owner of grocery-anchored neighborhood 
shopping centers in Hawai‘i;

Investing in the repositioning and redevelopment of existing assets at an appropriate risk-adjusted return 
on capital;

Developing new commercial properties at an appropriate risk-adjusted return on capital; and

2

◦

Selectively acquiring commercial real estate assets in Hawai‘i markets to optimize the quality and long-
term growth rate of the Company's asset base.

•

Evaluate other commercial property investment opportunities, such as leased fee assets or other commercial real 
estate types, when the acquisitions are strategically consistent with the value creation objectives of the Company.

Land Operations strategy

  The  Company  strives  to  maximize  value  as  it  monetizes  its  legacy,  non-core  assets  and  landholdings.  For  its 
landholdings designated for current or future urban development and use, the Company explores development of commercial 
real estate assets for its own portfolio (in response to market demand while meeting community needs) or seeks monetization of 
such land and related investments (including current for-sale projects) earlier in their development cycle.

The Company also owns land that is not designated for development (e.g., agricultural lands, conservation/watershed 
lands).  Consistent  with  its  simplification  strategy,  the  Company  is  pursuing  monetization  of  these  assets.  When  timely 
monetization, in line with its simplification strategy, is not feasible, the Company continues to employ these landholdings at 
their highest and best use through legacy business activities.

Materials & Construction strategy 

Activities  in  the  Materials  &  Construction  segment  are  primarily  conducted  through  the  Company's  consolidated 
subsidiary, Grace Pacific, a diversified and vertically integrated construction materials and hot mix asphalt paving contractor 
with  operations  throughout  the  Hawaiian  Islands.  Grace  Pacific  also,  through  consolidated  subsidiaries,  offers  a  variety  of 
related for-sale and for-rent services, including road safety and transportation construction services. Grace Pacific also holds a 
50%  interest  in  an  unconsolidated  affiliate,  Maui  Paving,  LLC  ("Maui  Paving"),  which  operates  primarily  on  the  island  of 
Maui.

Consistent with its simplification strategy to focus on the growth and expansion of its commercial real estate portfolio 
in Hawai‘i, the Company intends to pursue the sale of some or all of the Grace Pacific businesses (subject to approval by its 
board of directors). No timeline has been established for such a sale.

Additional  activity  in  the  M&C  segment  includes  the  Company's  share  of  the  results  of  operations  of  an 
unconsolidated  investment,  Pohaku  Pa‘a  LLC  ("Pohaku").  Pohaku  is  composed  of  two  wholly-owned  subsidiaries,  HC&D, 
LLC  (formerly  known  as  Ameron  Hawaii,  LLC)  and  Island  Ready-Mix  Concrete,  Inc.  Pohaku,  through  these  wholly-owned 
subsidiaries, operates rock quarries on the islands of Oahu and Maui and sells a wide range of products that include ready-mix 
concrete, rock and sand aggregates and cultured stone and related products.

Financing strategy

The Company values a strong balance sheet with levels of debt and repayment schedules that would enable it to protect 
its  ownership  of  assets  through  market  cycles  and  to  provide  capital  for  opportunities  to  invest  at  attractive  risk-adjusted 
returns. Following an increase in debt due to the 2018 REIT special distribution, which was required as a result of the REIT 
conversion,  the  Company  continues  to  pursue  debt  reduction  through  non-core  asset  monetization  and  cash  flows  from 
operating activities.

To achieve this desired balance sheet posture, the Company intends to:

• Maintain  a  disciplined  capital  allocation  strategy  with  a  focus  on  investments  that  have  attractive  risk-adjusted 

returns relative to the Company’s cost of capital; 

•

•

Continue to improve leverage metrics through earnings growth and debt reduction; 

Ensure well-laddered debt maturities and minimize near-term maturing debt;

• Maintain a high proportion of fixed-rate debt and a longer weighted-average maturity; and

• Maintain a large unencumbered portfolio of assets.

Baldwin, Inc., together with its consolidated subsidiaries.

Compliance with Government Regulations

The Company is subject to a number of federal, state and local laws and regulations. The CRE segment must comply 
with state and local regulations surrounding the brokering of deals and the management of its commercial real estate portfolio. 
With  respect  to  land  development  in  both  its  CRE  and  Land  Operations  segments,  the  Company  is  subject  to  laws  and 
regulations  that  affect  the  land  development  process,  including  zoning  and  permitted  land  uses  which  may  impact  the 
Company's development costs. Additionally, the Company is subject to various other regulations such as Occupational Safety 
and  Health  Administration  regulations;  Environmental  Protection  Agency  regulations;  and  state  and  county  permitting 
requirements related to its other operations. The Materials & Construction segment is additionally subject to Mine Safety and 
Health Administration regulations.

The Company is also subject to a number of tax regulations that could materially impact its financial condition and 
results of operations. For example, the Company frequently utilizes §1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended 
(the  "Code")  to  obtain  tax-deferral  treatment  when  qualifying  real  estate  assets  are  sold  and  the  resulting  proceeds  are 
reinvested in replacement properties within the required time period. This may occur when the Company sells bulk parcels of 
land in Hawai‘i or commercial properties in Hawai‘i, many of which may have a lower tax basis. Failure to comply with, or a 
repeal of, or adverse amendment to, §1031 of the Code could impose significant additional costs on the Company in the event 
of a future transaction with an associated gain.

Human Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2020, the Company and its subsidiaries had 618 regular full-time employees, as compared to 793 
regular full-time employees in the prior year. At the end of 2020, the Company's Materials & Construction segment employed 
431  regular  full-time  employees.  Approximately  43%  of  the  Company's  employees  are  covered  by  collective  bargaining 
agreements with unions.

The  16  bargaining  unit  employees  at  Kahului  Trucking  &  Storage,  Inc.  ("KT&S")  are  covered  by  a  collective 
bargaining agreement with the International Longshore and Warehouse Union ("ILWU") that expires on March 31, 2021. There 
are two collective bargaining agreements with 16 A&B Fleet Services employees on the Big Island and Kauai, represented by 
the ILWU.  Both the Kauai and Big Island agreements were set to expire on August 31, 2020 but the Company and the union 
agreed to a one-year extension to August 31, 2021.

A  collective  bargaining  agreement  with  the  International  Union  of  Operating  Engineers  AFL-CIO,  Local  Union  3 
(“IUOE”)  covers  125  of  Grace’s  employees,  who  are  primarily  classified  as  heavy-duty  equipment  operators,  paving 
construction site workers, quarry workers, truck drivers and mechanics. The agreement expires on August 31, 2024.

Collective bargaining agreements with Laborers International Union of North America Local 368 (“Laborers”) cover 
101  Grace  employees.  The  traffic  and  rentals  Laborers’  agreement  expires  on  August  31,  2024  and  the  Laborers'  agreement 
with fence, guardrail and sign installation workers expires on September 30, 2024.

A  collective  bargaining  agreement  with  the  Hawai`i  Regional  Council  of  Carpenters,  United  Brotherhood  of 
Carpenters  and  Joiners  of  America,  and  its  Affiliated  Local  Unions  and  General  Contractors  Labor  Association  and  the 
Building  Industry  Labor  Association  of  Hawai‘i  (“Carpenters”)  cover  eight  Grace  employees.    The  Carpenters  agreement 
expires on August 31, 2024.

The Company is dedicated to supporting its employees, who are all critical in achieving its mission to serve the 

community and create value for all stakeholders as "Partners for Hawai‘i." The Company seeks to attract, develop and retain 
experienced employees by supporting them in the pursuit of their personal and professional goals. To support these efforts, the 
Company offers a competitive compensation and benefits program; provides learning and development opportunities that 
support the advancement of its employees; enhances the Company's culture by keeping employees engaged while fostering a 
diverse and inclusive environment; and helps employees give back to their communities.

Compensation and benefits program 

The Company's compensation and benefits program is designed to attract, reward and retain talented individuals who 
possess the skills necessary to support its business objectives, assist in the achievement of strategic goals and create long-term 
value  for  its  shareholders.  The  Company  provides  its  employees  with  competitive  total  rewards  packages  that  include,  in 
addition to base compensation, meaningful benefits such as health (medical, dental and vision) and life insurance; paid time off; 
flexible spending reimbursements accounts; a corporate wellness program; gain sharing opportunities; and a 401(k) plan with a 
generous Company contribution, as well as a Company match. Certain employees also receive annual incentive bonuses, and 
long-term equity awards tied to the value of the Company's common stock price. The Company believes that a compensation 
program  with  both  short-term  and  long-term  awards  provides  fair  and  competitive  compensation  and  aligns  employee  and 
shareholder  interests  by  incentivizing  business  and  individual  performance  (i.e.,  pay  for  performance),  motivating  based  on 
long-term company performance and integrating compensation with its business plans.

Learning and development

The Company provides meaningful learning and development opportunities for its employees; it has a wide variety of 
formal and informal training programs available and provides professional development stipends to be used towards qualified 
workshops, conferences, forums and classes. The Company also offers tuition reimbursement of up to $40,000 to employees 
wishing to obtain a qualified higher education degree.

Company culture - engagement, diversity and inclusion

The Company strives to keep its employees engaged by communicating regularly through various channels, including 
frequent  town  halls,  an  employee  intranet,  employee  newsletters  and  email  updates.  It  also  conducts  a  confidential  annual 
employee  survey  to  better  understand  employee  perspectives  on  topics  including  employee  experience,  workplace  culture, 
employee engagement and the direction and leadership of the Company. Results of the survey are reviewed carefully by senior 
leadership  and  have  resulted  in  specific  actions,  including  increased  recognition  programs  and  the  development  of  the 
Company’s vision, mission and values statements.

The Company also believes that an equitable and inclusive environment with diverse teams fosters more creativity and 
produces more opportunities to create value through its assets, people and relationships and is crucial to its efforts to attract and 
retain  key  talent.  The  Company  is  focused  on  building  an  inclusive  culture  through  a  variety  of  diversity  and  inclusion 
initiatives.  The  Company  has  employee  resource  groups  that  promote  diversity  and  empowerment  and  also  help  to  build  an 
inclusive culture through company events, participation in its recruitment efforts and input into its hiring strategies.

Community involvement

The Company has a long history of giving back to the community and believes that this commitment helps in its 

efforts to attract and retain employees. Further, the Company supports its employees' investments in their communities through 
its matching gifts program (which matches its employees' personal gifts with Company contributions to eligible community 
non-profit organizations up to a total of $3,000); through its volunteer initiatives (which offers employees paid time off for 
employee community service, as well as cash grants to such eligible organizations); and through corporate sponsorship of 
charities supported by its employees.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

The  risks  described  below  could  materially  and  adversely  affect  our  shareholders  and  our  results  of  operations, 
financial condition, liquidity and cash flows. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. 
New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict all such risk factors, nor can we assess the 
impact  of  all  such  risk  factors  on  our  business  or  the  extent  to  which  any  factor,  or  combination  of  factors,  may  affect  our 
business. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below, together with all of the other information 
in this Form 10-K and the Company’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. 

Risk Factors Summary

Our  business  is  subject  to  numerous  risks  and  uncertainties  and  an  investment  in  our  common  stock  may  involve 
various risks. Such risks, including, but not limited to, the following summarized risks, should be carefully considered before 
making an investment in our common stock:

Summary of risks related to REIT status

•

•

•

Because qualification as a REIT involves highly technical and complex provisions of the Internal Revenue Code 
of  1986,  as  amended  (the  "Code"),  there  can  be  no  assurance  that  we  will  remain  qualified  as  a  REIT  for  U.S. 
federal income tax purposes.

U.S.  federal,  state  and  local  legislative,  judicial  or  regulatory  tax  changes  could  have  an  adverse  effect  on  our 
shareholders and us.

Complying  with  the  REIT  requirements  may  cause  us  to  sell  assets  or  forgo  otherwise  attractive  investment 
opportunities.

• We  may  be  required  to  borrow  funds,  sell  assets  or  raise  equity  to  satisfy  our  REIT  distribution  requirements, 

which could adversely affect our ability to execute our business plan and grow.

•

•

•

Our cash distributions are not guaranteed and may fluctuate.

Certain  of  our  business  activities  may  be  subject  to  corporate  level  income  tax  and  other  taxes,  which  would 
reduce our cash flows, and would cause potential deferred and contingent tax liabilities.

The tax imposed on REITs engaging in “prohibited transactions” may limit our ability to engage in transactions 
that would be treated as sales for federal income tax purposes.

Summary of risks related to our business

•

•

•

Changes in economic conditions, particularly in Hawai‘i, may adversely affect our Commercial Real Estate, Land 
Operations, and Materials & Construction segments.

The  COVID-19  pandemic  and  measures  intended  to  prevent  its  spread  has  had,  and  could  continue  to  have,  a 
material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

Although we intend to market and sell non-strategic assets, many of the assets are relatively illiquid, and it may 
not be possible to dispose of such assets in a timely manner or on favorable terms, which could delay our strategic 
agenda and/or adversely affect our financial condition, operating results and cash flows.

• We may face potential difficulties in obtaining operating and development capital.

• We may raise additional capital in the future on terms that are more stringent to us, which could provide holders 
of  new  issuances  rights,  preferences  and  privileges  that  are  senior  to  those  currently  held  by  our  common 
stockholders, or that could result in dilution of common stock ownership.

•

•

•

Failure  to  comply  with  certain  restrictive  financial  covenants  contained  in  our  credit  facilities  could  impose 
restrictions on our business segments, capital availability or the ability to pursue other activities.

An increase in fuel prices may adversely affect our operating environment and costs.

Noncompliance with, or changes to, federal, state or local law or regulations may adversely affect our business.

6

• Work  stoppages  or  other  labor  disruptions  by  our  unionized  employees  or  those  of  other  companies  in  related 

industries, may increase operating costs or adversely affect our ability to conduct business.

•

Interruption,  breaches  or  failure  of  our  information  technology  and  communications  systems  could  impair  our 
ability to operate, adversely affect our financial condition, and damage our reputation.

• Weather, natural disasters and the impacts of climate change may adversely affect our business.

•

Political crises, public health crises and other events beyond our control may adversely impact our operations and 
profitability.

• We  are  subject  to,  and  may  in  the  future  be  subject  to,  disputes,  legal  or  other  proceedings,  or  government 

inquiries or investigations, that could have an adverse effect on us.

Summary of risks related to our Commercial Real Estate segment

• We are subject to a number of factors that could cause leasing rental income to decline.

•

•

The bankruptcy or loss of key tenants in our commercial real estate portfolio may adversely affect our cash flows 
and profitability.

A shift in retail shopping from brick and mortar stores to online shopping may have an adverse impact on our cash 
flow, financial condition and results of operations.

• We may be unable to renew leases, lease vacant space, or re-lease space as leases expire, thereby increasing or 
prolonging vacancies, which would adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

•

•

Our  retail  centers  may  depend  on  anchor  stores  or  major  tenants  to  attract  shoppers  and  could  be  adversely 
affected by the loss of, or a store closure by, one or more of these tenants.

Certain of our leases at our retail centers contain “co-tenancy” or “go-dark” provisions, which, if triggered, may 
allow  tenants  to  pay  reduced  rent,  cease  operations,  or  terminate  their  leases,  which  could  adversely  affect  our 
performance or the value of the applicable retail property.

• We may be unable to identify and complete acquisitions of properties that meet our criteria, which may impede 

our growth.

• We face competition for the acquisition and development of real estate properties, which may impede our ability 

to grow our operations or may increase the cost of these activities.

• We are subject to risks associated with real estate construction and development.

Risks Related to REIT Status

Because qualification as a REIT involves highly technical and complex provisions of the Code, there can be no assurance 
that we will remain qualified as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

We have determined that we operated in compliance with the REIT requirements commencing with the taxable year 
ended  December  31,  2017.  However,  qualification  as  a  REIT  involves  the  application  of  highly  technical  and  complex 
provisions  of  the  Code,  for  which  there  may  be  only  limited  judicial  or  administrative  interpretations,  and  depends  on  our 
ability  to  meet,  on  a  continuing  basis,  various  requirements  concerning,  among  other  things,  the  sources  of  our  income,  the 
nature  of  our  assets,  the  diversity  of  our  share  ownership  and  the  amounts  we  distribute  to  our  shareholders.  Our  ability  to 
satisfy the asset tests depends upon our analysis of the characterization and fair market values of our assets, some of which are 
not  susceptible  to  a  precise  determination,  and  for  which  we  will  not  obtain  independent  appraisals.  The  determination  of 
various factual matters and circumstances not entirely within our control can potentially affect our ability to continue to qualify 
as  a  REIT.  In  addition,  no  assurance  can  be  given  that  future  legislation,  regulations,  administrative  interpretations  or  court 
decisions will not significantly change the requirements for qualification as a REIT or adversely affect the federal income tax 
consequences of such qualification. In addition, our ability to satisfy the requirements to qualify as a REIT depends, in part, on 
the actions of third parties, over which we have no control or only limited influence. Even a technical or inadvertent violation 
could jeopardize our REIT qualification.

7

Although we intend to operate in a manner consistent with the REIT requirements, we cannot be certain that we will 
remain so qualified. Under current law, if we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we would not be allowed a deduction 
for dividends paid to shareholders in computing our net taxable income. In addition, our taxable income would be subject to 
U.S.  federal  and  state  income  tax  at  the  regular  corporate  rates.  Also,  unless  we  are  entitled  to  relief  under  certain  Code 
provisions,  we  would  also  be  disqualified  from  re-electing  REIT  status  for  the  four  taxable  years  following  the  year  during 
which  we  failed  to  qualify  as  a  REIT.  Cash  available  for  distribution  to  our  shareholders  would  be  significantly  reduced  for 
each year in which we do not qualify as a REIT. In that event, we would not be required to continue to make distributions.

Although we currently intend to continue to qualify as a REIT, it is possible that future economic, market, legal, tax or 
other considerations may cause us, without the consent of our shareholders, to revoke the REIT election or to otherwise take 
action that would result in disqualification. 

U.S. federal, state and local legislative, judicial or regulatory tax changes could have an adverse effect on our shareholders 
and us.

The  present  U.S.  federal  income  tax  treatment  of  REITs  and  their  shareholders  may  be  modified,  possibly  with 
retroactive effect, by legislative, judicial or administrative action at any time, which could affect the U.S. federal income tax 
treatment of an investment in us. The U.S. federal income tax rules dealing with REITs are constantly under review by persons 
involved in the legislative process, the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") and the U.S. Treasury Department, which results in 
statutory changes as well as frequent revisions to regulations and interpretations. We cannot predict how changes in the tax laws 
might affect our investors or us. Revisions in U.S. federal income tax laws and interpretations thereof could significantly and 
negatively affect our ability to qualify as a REIT and the tax considerations relevant to an investment in us, or could cause us to 
change our investments and commitments.

Also, the Hawai‘i State legislature has repeatedly considered, and could consider in the future, legislation that would 
(i) eliminate (i.e., repeal) the REIT dividends paid deduction for Hawai‘i State income tax purposes related to income generated 
in Hawai‘i for a number of years or permanently, and/or (ii) mandate withholding of Hawai‘i State income tax on dividends 
paid  to  out-of-state  shareholders.  These  provisions  could  result  in  double  taxation  of  REIT  income  in  Hawai‘i  under  the 
Hawai‘i tax code, reduce returns to shareholders and make our stock less attractive to investors, which could in turn lower the 
value of our stock. 

You  are  urged  to  consult  with  your  tax  advisor  with  respect  to  the  status  of  legislative,  regulatory  or  administrative 

developments and proposals and their potential effect on an investment in our stock.

Our significant use of taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”) may cause us to fail to qualify as a REIT.

The net income of our TRSs is not required to be transferred to us, and such TRS income that is not transferred to us is 
generally  not  subject  to  our  REIT  distribution  requirements.  However,  if  the  accumulation  of  cash  or  reinvestment  of  
significant earnings in our TRSs causes the fair market value of our securities in those entities, taken together with other non-
qualifying assets, to represent more than 25% of the fair market value of our total assets, or causes the fair market value of our 
TRS  securities  alone  to  exceed  20%  of  the  fair  market  value  of  our  total  assets,  in  each  case  as  determined  for  REIT  asset 
testing purposes, we would, absent timely responsive action, fail to qualify as a REIT.

Complying with the REIT requirements may cause us to sell assets or forgo otherwise attractive investment opportunities.

To maintain our qualification as a REIT, we must continually satisfy various requirements concerning, among other 
things, the nature of our assets, the sources of our income and the amounts we distribute to our shareholders. For example, we 
must ensure that, at the end of each calendar quarter, at least 75% of the value of our total assets consists of some combination 
of “real estate assets” (as defined in the Code), cash, cash items and U.S. government securities. The remainder of our 
investments (other than government securities, qualified real estate assets and securities issued by a TRS) generally cannot 
include more than 10% of  the outstanding voting securities of any one issuer or more than 10% of the total value of the 
outstanding securities of any one issuer. In addition, in general, no more than 5% of the value of our total assets (other than 
government securities, qualified real estate assets and securities issued by a TRS) can consist of the securities of any one issuer, 
and no more than 20% of the value of our total assets can be represented by securities of one or more TRS. If we fail to comply 
with these requirements at the end of any calendar quarter, we must correct the failure within 30 days after the end of the 
calendar quarter or qualify for certain statutory relief provisions to avoid losing our REIT qualification and suffering adverse 
tax consequences. As a result, we may be required to sell assets or forgo otherwise attractive investment opportunities. These 
actions could have the effect of reducing our income, amounts available for distribution to our shareholders and amounts 
available for making payments on our indebtedness.

8

We may be required to borrow funds, sell assets or raise equity to satisfy our REIT distribution requirements, which could 
adversely affect our ability to execute our business plan and grow.

We  generally  must  distribute  annually  at  least  90%  of  our  REIT  taxable  income,  determined  without  regard  to  the 
dividends paid deduction and excluding any net capital gains, to maintain our qualification as a REIT. To the extent that we 
satisfy this distribution requirement and qualify as a REIT but distribute less than 100% of our REIT taxable income, including 
any net capital gains, we will be subject to tax at ordinary corporate tax rates on the retained portion. In addition, we will be 
subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax if the actual amount that we distribute to our shareholders in a calendar year is less 
than a minimum amount specified under U.S. federal tax laws. We intend to make distributions to our shareholders to comply 
with the REIT requirements of the Code and avoid corporate income tax and the 4% annual excise tax.

From  time  to  time,  we  may  generate  taxable  income  greater  than  our  cash  flow  as  a  result  of  differences  in  timing 
between the recognition of taxable income and the actual receipt of cash or the effect of nondeductible capital expenditures, the 
creation of reserves or required debt or amortization payments. If we do not have other funds available in these situations, we 
could be required to borrow funds on unfavorable terms, sell assets at disadvantageous prices or distribute amounts that would 
otherwise  be  invested  in  future  acquisitions,  to  make  distributions  sufficient  to  enable  us  to  pay  out  enough  of  our  taxable 
income to satisfy the REIT distribution requirement and to avoid corporate income tax and the 4% excise tax in a particular 
year. These alternatives could increase our costs or reduce our equity or adversely impact our ability to raise short- and long- 
term debt. Furthermore, the REIT distribution requirements may increase the financing we need to fund capital expenditures 
and  further  growth  and  expansion  initiatives.  Thus,  compliance  with  the  REIT  requirements  may  hinder  our  ability  to  grow, 
which could adversely affect the value of our common stock.

Whether we issue equity, at what price and the amount and other terms of any such issuances will depend on many 
factors, including alternative sources of capital, our then-existing leverage, our need for additional capital, market conditions 
and other factors beyond our control. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity securities or debt convertible 
into  equity  securities,  the  percentage  of  stock  owned  by  our  existing  shareholders  may  be  reduced.  In  addition,  new  equity 
securities or convertible debt securities could have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of our current shareholders, 
which  could  substantially  decrease  the  value  of  our  securities  owned  by  them.  Depending  on  the  share  price  we  are  able  to 
obtain,  we  may  have  to  sell  a  significant  number  of  shares  to  raise  the  capital  we  deem  necessary  to  execute  our  long-term 
strategy, and our shareholders may experience dilution in the value of their shares as a result.

Dividends payable by REITs do not qualify for the reduced tax rates available for some dividends.

The  maximum  U.S.  federal  income  tax  rate  applicable  to  income  from  “qualified  dividends”  payable  to  U.S. 
shareholders that are individuals, trusts and estates is currently 20%, exclusive of the 3.8% investment tax surcharge. Dividends 
payable by REITs, however, generally are not eligible for the reduced rates applicable to qualified dividends. Although these 
rules do not adversely affect the taxation of REITs, the more favorable rates applicable to regular corporate qualified dividends 
could  cause  investors  who  are  individuals,  trusts  and  estates  to  perceive  investments  in  REITs  to  be  relatively  less  attractive 
than investments in the stocks of non-REIT corporations that pay dividends, which could adversely affect the value of the stock 
of REITs, including our common stock. However, for taxable years that begin after December 31, 2017 and before January 1, 
2026,  shareholders  that  are  individuals,  trusts  or  estates  are  generally  entitled  to  a  deduction  equal  to  20%  of  the  aggregate 
amount of ordinary income dividends received from a REIT, subject to certain limitations.

The REIT ownership limitations and transfer restrictions contained in our articles of incorporation may restrict or prevent 
certain transfers of our common stock, could have unintended antitakeover effects and may not be successful in preserving 
our qualification for taxation as a REIT.

For  us  to  remain  qualified  for  taxation  as  a  REIT,  among  other  requirements,  not  more  than  50%  of  the  value  of 
outstanding shares of our capital stock may be owned, beneficially or constructively, by five or fewer individuals (as defined in 
the Code to include certain entities) at any time during the last half of each taxable year beginning with our 2018 taxable year. 
Also, such shares must be beneficially owned by 100 or more persons during at least 335 days of a taxable year of 12 months or 
during  a  proportionate  part  of  a  shorter  taxable  year  beginning  with  our  2018  taxable  year.  In  addition,  a  person  actually  or 
constructively owning 10% or more of the vote or value of the shares of our capital stock could lead to a level of affiliation 
between the Company and one or more of its tenants that could cause our revenues from such affiliated tenants to not qualify as 
rents  from  real  property.  Our  articles  of  incorporation  include  certain  restrictions  regarding  transfers  of  our  shares  of  capital 
stock and ownership limits that are intended to assist us in satisfying these limitations, among other purposes. 

Subject  to  certain  exceptions,  our  articles  of  incorporation  prohibit  any  stockholder  from  owning,  beneficially  or 
constructively, more than (i) 9.8% in value of the outstanding shares of all classes or series of our capital stock or (ii) 9.8% in 
value  or  number,  whichever  is  more  restrictive,  of  the  outstanding  shares  of  any  class  or  series  of  our  capital  stock. 

9

Additionally, the constructive ownership rules for these limits are complex and groups of related individuals or entities may be 
deemed  a  single  owner  and  consequently  in  violation  of  the  share  ownership  limits.  As  a  result,  the  acquisition  of  less  than 
9.8% of our outstanding common stock (or the outstanding shares of any class or series of our stock) by an individual or entity 
could cause that individual or entity, or another individual or entity, to own constructively in excess of the relevant ownership 
limits. Any attempt to own or transfer shares of our common stock, or of any of our other capital stock in violation of these 
restrictions,  may  result  in  the  shares  being  automatically  transferred  to  a  charitable  trust  or  may  be  void.  As  a  result,  if  a 
violative  transfer  were  made,  the  recipient  of  the  shares  would  not  acquire  any  economic  or  voting  rights  attributable  to  the 
transferred shares.

The transfer restrictions and ownership limits may prevent certain transfers of our common stock. These restrictions 
and  limits  may  not  be  adequate  in  all  cases,  however,  to  prevent  our  qualification  for  taxation  as  a  REIT  from  being 
jeopardized, including under the affiliated tenant rule. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that we will be able to enforce the 
ownership limits. If the restrictions in our articles of incorporation are not effective and, as a result, we fail to satisfy the REIT 
tax rules described above, then absent an applicable relief provision, we will fail to remain qualified for taxation as a REIT. 

The ownership limits contained in our articles of incorporation may have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing 
a  change  of  control  of  us  that  might  involve  a  premium  price  for  our  stock  or  otherwise  be  in  the  best  interests  of  our 
shareholders. As a result, the overall effect of the ownership limitations and transfer restrictions may be to render more difficult 
or  discourage  any  attempt  to  acquire  us,  even  if  such  acquisition  may  be  favorable  to  the  interests  of  our  shareholders.  This 
potential inability to obtain a premium could reduce the price of our common stock.

Our cash distributions are not guaranteed and may fluctuate.

A  REIT  generally  is  required  to  distribute  at  least  90%  of  its  REIT  taxable  income  to  its  shareholders  (determined 
without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding any net capital gains). Generally, we expect to distribute all, or 
substantially all, of our REIT taxable income, including net capital gains, so as to not be subject to the income or excise tax on 
undistributed REIT taxable income. Our board of directors, in its sole discretion, will determine on a quarterly basis the amount 
of cash to be distributed to our shareholders based on a number of factors including, but not limited to, our results of operations, 
cash flow and capital requirements, economic conditions, tax considerations, borrowing capacity and other factors, including 
debt  covenant  restrictions,  that  may  impose  limitations  on  cash  payments  and  plans  for  future  acquisitions  and  divestitures. 
Consequently, our distribution levels may fluctuate.

Certain of our business activities may be subject to corporate level income tax and other taxes, which would reduce our cash 
flows, and would cause potential deferred and contingent tax liabilities.

Our TRS assets and operations will continue to be subject to U.S. federal income taxes at regular corporate rates. We 
also may be subject to a variety of other taxes, including payroll taxes and state, local, and foreign income, property, transfer 
and other taxes on assets and operations. In addition, we could, in certain circumstances, be required to pay an excise or penalty 
tax,  which  could  be  significant  in  amount,  in  order  to  utilize  one  or  more  relief  provisions  under  the  Code  to  maintain 
qualification  for  taxation  as  a  REIT.  We  also  could  incur  a  100%  excise  tax  on  transactions  with  a  TRS,  if  they  are  not 
conducted  on  an  arm’s  length  basis,  or  we  also  could  be  subject  to  tax  in  situations  and  on  transactions  not  presently 
contemplated. Any of these taxes would decrease our earnings and our available cash.

If we dispose of an asset held at the REIT level during our first five years as a REIT and do not execute a qualifying 
tax-deferred exchange, we also may be subject to a federal and state corporate level tax on the gain recognized from such sale, 
up to the amount of the built-in gain that existed on January 1, 2017, which is based on the fair market value of such asset in 
excess of our tax basis in such asset as of January 1, 2017. We currently do not expect to sell any asset if the sale would result 
in the imposition of a material tax liability. We cannot, however, assure you that we will not change our plans in this regard.

In  addition,  the  IRS  and  any  state  or  local  tax  authority  may  successfully  assert  liabilities  against  us  for  corporate 
income taxes for taxable years prior to the time we qualified as a REIT, in which case we will owe these taxes plus applicable 
interest  and  penalties,  if  any.  Moreover,  any  increase  in  taxable  income  for  these  pre-REIT  periods  will  likely  result  in  an 
increase in pre-REIT accumulated earnings and profits, which could cause us to pay an additional taxable distribution to our 
shareholders after the relevant determination.

The tax imposed on REITs engaging in “prohibited transactions” may limit our ability to engage in transactions that would 
be treated as sales for federal income tax purposes.

A REIT’s net income from prohibited transactions is subject to a 100% penalty tax. The term “prohibited transaction” 
generally  includes  a  sale  or  other  disposition  of  property  (including  mortgage  loans,  but  other  than  foreclosure  property,  as 

10

discussed  below)  that  is  held  primarily  for  sale  to  customers  in  the  ordinary  course  of  our  trade  or  business.  We  might  be 
subject to this tax if we were to dispose of or securitize loans in a manner that was treated as a prohibited transaction for U.S. 
federal income tax purposes.

We intend to conduct our operations so that no asset that we own (or are treated as owning) will be treated as, or as 
having  been,  held  for  sale  to  customers,  and  that  a  sale  of  any  such  asset  will  not  be  treated  as  having  been  in  the  ordinary 
course of our business. As a result, we may choose not to engage in certain sales of loans at the REIT level, and may limit the 
structures we utilize for our securitization transactions, even though the sales or structures might otherwise be beneficial to us. 
In addition, whether property is held “primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business” depends on 
the particular facts and circumstances. No assurance can be given that any property that we sell will not be treated as property 
held  for  sale  to  customers,  or  that  we  can  comply  with  certain  safe-harbor  provisions  of  the  Code  that  would  prevent  such 
treatment. The 100% prohibited transaction tax does not apply to gains from the sale of property that is held through a TRS or 
other taxable corporation, although such income will be subject to tax in the hands of the corporation at regular corporate rates. 
We intend to structure our activities to prevent prohibited transaction characterization.

The  ability  of  our  board  of  directors  to  revoke  our  REIT  qualification,  without  shareholder  approval,  may  cause  adverse 
consequences to our shareholders.

Our articles of incorporation provide that the board of directors may revoke or otherwise terminate our REIT election, 
without  the  approval  of  our  shareholders,  if  it  determines  that  it  is  no  longer  in  our  best  interests  to  continue  to  qualify  as  a 
REIT. If we cease to be a REIT, we will not be allowed a deduction for dividends paid to shareholders in computing our taxable 
income, and we will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at regular corporate rates, which may have adverse consequences on 
our total return to our shareholders.

Risks Related to Our Business

Changes  in  economic  conditions,  particularly  in  Hawai‘i,  may  adversely  affect  our  Commercial  Real  Estate,  Land 
Operations, and Materials & Construction segments.

Our business, including our assets and operations, is concentrated in Hawai‘i, which exposes us to more concentrated 
risks than if our assets and operations were more geographically diverse. A weakening of economic drivers in Hawai‘i, which 
include tourism, military and consumer spending, public and private construction starts and spending, personal income growth, 
and  employment,  or  the  weakening  of  consumer  confidence,  market  demand,  or  economic  conditions  on  the  Mainland  and 
elsewhere, may adversely affect the level of real estate leasing activity in Hawai‘i, the demand for or sale of Hawai‘i real estate, 
and demand for our materials and construction products. In addition, an increase in interest rates or other factors could reduce 
the market value of our real estate holdings, as well as increase the cost of buyer financing that may reduce the demand for our 
real estate assets.

The  COVID-19  pandemic  and  measures  intended  to  prevent  its  spread  has  had,  and  could  continue  to  have,  a  material 
adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

In December 2019, a new strain of coronavirus ("COVID-19") was first reported in Wuhan, China, and on March 11, 
2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic. Considerable uncertainty surrounds COVID-19 and its 
effects on the population, as well as the effectiveness of any responses taken by government authorities and the availability and 
efficacy  of  vaccinations  and  therapeutic  treatments  for  COVID-19.  The  pandemic  has  caused  a  decline  in  Hawai‘i  tourism, 
visitor arrivals and commercial activity and has had an adverse impact on Hawai‘i’s economy. The impact of the COVID-19 
pandemic and measures to prevent its spread has had a material adverse effect (refer to Management's Discussion and Analysis 
of  Financial  Conditions  and  Results  of  Operations  included  in  Part  II,  Item  7  of  this  report),  and  could  continue  to  have  a 
material adverse effect, on our businesses, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. 

With  respect  to  our  Commercial  Real  Estate  segment,  the  pandemic  and  related  governmental  restrictions  have 
adversely impacted, and could continue to adversely impact, our tenants' operations and financial condition, as governmental 
instructions  and  restrictions  regarding  safe  practices  and  travel  to  the  State  have  reduced  and,  in  some  cases,  eliminated 
customer  foot  traffic  and  has  also  caused  certain  of  our  tenants  to  close  their  brick-and-mortar  stores  and  spaces.  Our  rental 
revenue and operating results depend significantly on the occupancy levels at our properties, the level of business activity of our 
tenants  and  the  consequent  ability  of  our  tenants  to  meet  their  rent  and  other  obligations  to  us.  Tenants  that  experience 
deteriorating financial conditions due to the pandemic may be unwilling or unable to pay rent in full, on a timely basis, or pay 
any amount of rent. Certain of our tenants may incur significant costs or losses responding to the pandemic, lose business due to 
any  interruption  in  the  operations  of  our  properties,  or  incur  other  losses  or  liabilities  related  to  shelter-in-place  orders, 
quarantines, infection or other related factors.  Federal, state, local and industry-initiated efforts also may limit our ability to 

11

collect rent or enforce remedies for the failure to pay rent. In addition, the deterioration of economic conditions as a result of the 
pandemic may decrease occupancy levels and rents across our portfolio as tenants reduce or defer their spending, which could 
adversely  affect  the  value  of  our  properties.  With  respect  to  our  Land  Operations  segment,  declines  in  Hawai‘i  tourism,  the 
impact  of  varying  travel  and  other  restrictions  in  the  islands  and  other  ramifications  of  COVID-19  has  impacted  and  may 
continue  to  impact  the  timing  and  ability  to  close  sales  transactions  involving  developed  and  undeveloped  land.  And  with 
respect  to  our  Materials  &  Construction  Segment,  any  resulting  slowdown  or  delays  in,  or  work  stoppages  or  workforce 
disruptions  relating  to,  infrastructure  and  other  projects  could  reduce  the  revenues  and  profits  from  our  materials  and 
construction businesses.

The  extent  and  duration  of  the  economic  disruption  due  to  the  COVID-19  pandemic,  including  the  effectiveness  of  
vaccination and vaccine administration, remains uncertain.  Further deterioration of economic conditions may adversely impact 
or destabilize the lending, capital and other financial markets.  Consequently, our access to capital and other sources of funding 
may  become  constrained,  which  could  adversely  affect  the  availability  and  terms  of  future  borrowings,  renewals,  or  the 
refinancing of our debt.

We may face new or increased competition.

There  are  numerous  other  developers,  buyers,  managers  and  owners  of  commercial  and  residential  real  estate  and 
undeveloped land that compete or may compete with us for management and leasing revenues, land for development, properties 
for acquisition and disposition, and for tenants and purchasers of properties. Intense competition could lead to increased supply 
of space, which could then increase vacancies, the need for increased tenant incentives, decreased rents, sales prices or sales 
volume, or lack of development opportunities. Additionally, our tenants may face increased competition and/or shifts in market 
preferences and demand that adversely impact their performance, ability to pay rent or even their business viability.

Further, increasing competitive market conditions, including out-of-state or new in-state contractors competing for a 
limited number of projects available, could adversely impact Grace Pacific's results of operations through market share erosion 
due to lost bids, as well as lower pricing and thus lower margins realized on successful bids. Grace Pacific also mines aggregate 
and  imports  asphalt  for  sale.  Grace  Pacific’s  customers  could  seek  alternative  sources  of  supply,  similar  to  some  of  its 
competitors that are importing liquid asphalt and aggregate.

Although  we  intend  to  market  and  sell  non-strategic  assets,  many  of  the  assets  are  relatively  illiquid,  and  it  may  not  be 
possible to dispose of such assets in a timely manner or on favorable terms, which could delay our strategic agenda and/or 
adversely affect our financial condition, operating results and cash flows.

Our ability to dispose of non-strategic assets on advantageous terms, including pricing, depends on factors beyond our 
control,  including  but  not  limited  to,  competition  from  other  sellers,  insufficient  infrastructure  capacity  or  availability  (e.g., 
water, sewer and roads) for real estate assets, the availability of attractive financing for potential buyers and market conditions. 
As  a  result,  we  may  be  unable  to  realize  our  strategy  to  simplify  through  dispositions,  we  may  be  unable  to  do  so  on 
advantageous  terms,  or  we  may  not  be  able  to  execute  the  strategy  in  a  timely  manner,  which  could  adversely  affect  our 
financial condition, operating results and/or cash flows.

In  addition,  many  of  the  non-strategic  assets  are  relatively  illiquid.  Illiquid  assets  typically  experience  greater  price 
volatility,  as  a  ready  market  does  not  exist,  and  can  be  more  difficult  to  value.  In  addition,  validating  third  party  pricing  for 
illiquid assets may be more subjective than more liquid assets. As a result, we may realize significantly less than the value at 
which we have previously recorded such assets.

We may face potential difficulties in obtaining operating and development capital.

The successful execution of our strategy requires substantial amounts of operating and development capital. Sources of 
such  capital  could  include  banks,  life  insurance  companies,  public  and  private  offerings  of  debt  or  equity,  including  rights 
offerings,  sale  of  certain  assets  and  joint  venture  partners.  If  our  investment  or  credit  profile  deteriorates  significantly,  our 
access to the debt or equity capital markets may become restricted, our cost of capital may increase, or we may not be able to 
refinance debt at the same levels or on the same terms. Further, we rely on our ability to obtain and draw on a revolving credit 
facility to support our operations. Volatility in the credit and financial markets or deterioration in our credit profile may prevent 
us from accessing funds. There is no assurance that any capital will be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all, to satisfy 
our short or long-term cash needs.

12

We may raise additional capital in the future on terms that are more stringent to us, which could provide holders of new 
issuances  rights,  preferences  and  privileges  that  are  senior  to  those  currently  held  by  our  common  stockholders,  or  that 
could result in dilution of common stock ownership.

As noted above, the successful execution of our strategy requires substantial amounts of operating and development 
capital. If our capital needs are not able to be filled through our existing liquidity sources (e.g., our revolving credit facility), we 
may require additional capital. If we incur additional debt or raise equity, the terms of the debt or equity issued may give the 
holders  rights,  preferences  and  privileges  senior  to  those  of  holders  of  our  common  stock,  particularly  in  the  event  of 
liquidation.  The  terms  of  any  new  debt  may  also  impose  additional  and  more  stringent  restrictions  on  our  operations  than 
currently  in  place.  If  we  issue  additional  common  equity,  either  through  public  or  private  offerings  or  rights  offerings,  your 
percentage ownership in us would decline if you do not participate on a ratable basis.

Failure to comply with certain restrictive financial covenants contained in our credit facilities could impose restrictions on 
our business segments, capital availability or the ability to pursue other activities.

Our credit facilities and term debt contain certain restrictive financial covenants. If we breach any of the covenants and 
such breach is not cured in a timely manner or waived by the lenders, and such event results in default, our access to credit may 
be limited or terminated and the lenders could declare any outstanding amounts immediately due and payable. We further may 
be limited in our ability to make distributions to our shareholders in event of default.

Increasing interest rates would increase our overall interest expense.

Interest  expense  on  our  floating-rate  debt  would  increase  if  interest  rates  rise.  Additionally,  the  interest  expense 
associated with fixed-rate debt could rise in future periods when the debt matures and is refinanced. Furthermore, the value of 
our  commercial  real  estate  portfolio  and  the  market  price  of  our  stock  could  decline  if  market  interest  rates  increase  and 
investors seek alternative investments with higher distribution rates.

We may be adversely affected by changes in LIBOR reporting practices or the method in which LIBOR is determined.

We have a number of financial instruments (refer to Note 10 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included 
in Part II, Item 8 of this report) which bear interest at a floating rate based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) 
plus  an  applicable  margin  (certain  of  these  financial  instruments  are  subject  to  interest  rate  swaps  through  maturity  at  fixed 
rates) and we may incur additional debt indexed to LIBOR in the future. The United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority (the 
authority that regulates LIBOR) announced it intends to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR 
after 2021. In the United States, efforts to identify a set of alternative U.S. dollar reference interest rates include proposals by 
the Alternative Reference Rates Committee of the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. We are 
not able to predict when LIBOR will cease to be available or if another alternative reference rate attains market traction as a 
LIBOR replacement. 

If LIBOR ceases to exist, we will need to agree upon a benchmark replacement index with the bank, and, as a result, 
the interest rate on our financial instruments may change. The new rate may not be as favorable as those in effect prior to any 
LIBOR  phase-out.  Furthermore,  the  transition  process  may  result  in  delays  in  funding,  higher  interest  expense,  additional 
expenses  and  increased  volatility  in  markets  for  instruments  that  currently  rely  on  LIBOR.  Although  the  full  impact  of  such 
reforms and actions together with any transition away from LIBOR remains unclear, these changes may have a material adverse 
impact on the availability of financing, including LIBOR-based loans, and on our financing costs.

An increase in fuel prices may adversely affect our operating environment and costs.

Fuel  prices  have  a  direct  impact  on  the  health  of  the  Hawai‘i  economy.  Increases  in  the  price  of  fuel  may  result  in 
higher  transportation  costs  to  Hawai‘i  and  adversely  affect  visitor  counts  and  the  cost  of  goods  shipped  to  Hawai‘i,  thereby 
affecting the strength of the Hawai‘i economy and its consumers. Increases in fuel costs also can lead to other non-recoverable, 
direct expense increases to us through, for example, increased costs of energy and petroleum-based raw materials used in the 
production of aggregate, and the manufacture, transportation, and placement of hot mix asphalt. Increases in energy costs for 
our leased real estate portfolio are typically recovered from lessees, although our share of energy costs increases as a result of 
lower occupancies, and higher operating cost reimbursements impact the ability to increase underlying rents. Rising fuel prices 
also  may  increase  the  cost  of  construction,  including  delivery  costs  to  Hawai‘i,  and  the  cost  of  materials  that  are  petroleum-
based, thus affecting our real estate development projects and margins.

13

Noncompliance with, or changes to, federal, state or local law or regulations may adversely affect our business.

We are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations, including government rate, land use, environmental and 
tax regulations. Noncompliance with, or changes to, the laws and regulations governing our business could impose significant 
additional  costs  on  us  and  adversely  affect  our  financial  condition  and  results  of  operations.  For  example,  the  real  estate 
segments are subject to numerous federal, state and local laws and regulations, which, if changed or not complied with, may 
adversely affect our business. We frequently utilize §1031 of the Code to defer taxes when selling qualifying real estate and 
reinvesting  the  proceeds  in  replacement  properties.  This  often  occurs  when  we  sell  bulk  parcels  of  land  in  Hawai‘i  or 
commercial  properties  in  Hawai‘i,  all  of  which  typically  have  a  very  low  tax  basis.  A  repeal  of,  or  adverse  amendment  to, 
§1031  of  the  Code  could  impose  significant  additional  costs  on  us.  We  are  subject  to  Occupational  Safety  and  Health 
Administration  regulations;  Environmental  Protection  Agency  regulations;  and  state  and  county  permits  related  to  our 
operations.  The  Materials  &  Construction  segment  is  additionally  subject  to  Mine  Safety  and  Health  Administration 
regulations.

Work  stoppages  or  other  labor  disruptions  by  our  unionized  employees  or  those  of  other  companies  in  related  industries, 
may increase operating costs or adversely affect our ability to conduct business.

Many of our employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements with unions. We may be adversely affected 
by actions taken by our employees or those of other companies in related industries against efforts by management to control 
labor costs, restrain wage or benefits increases or modify work practices. Strikes and disruptions may occur as a result of our 
failure, or that of other companies in our industry, to negotiate collective bargaining agreements with such unions successfully. 
For example, in our Materials & Construction segment, a labor disruption resulting from a unionized workforce stoppage may 
significantly impede our production and ability to complete projects that are in process.  Additionally, in our Land Operations 
segment,  we  may  be  unable  to  complete  a  development-for-sale  project  if  building  materials  or  labor  are  unavailable  due  to 
labor disruptions in the relevant trade groups.

Interruption,  breaches  or  failure  of  our  information  technology  and  communications  systems  could  impair  our  ability  to 
operate, adversely affect our financial condition, and damage our reputation.

We rely extensively on information technology and communication systems to process transactions and to operate and 
manage  our  business.  Information  technology  and  communication  systems  are  subject  to  reliability  issues,  integration  and 
compatibility concerns, and cybersecurity-threatening intrusions. Further, we may experience failures caused by the occurrence 
of  a  natural  disaster,  terrorism,  war,  the  intentional  or  inadvertent  acts  and  errors  by  our  employees  or  vendors,  or  other 
problems  at  our  facilities.  Despite  our  implementation  of  security  measures,  there  can  be  no  assurance  that  our  efforts  to 
maintain the security of our systems will be effective. Any failure or breaches of our systems could result in improper uses of 
our systems and interruptions in our operations, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition 
and reputation. We may incur significant costs to remedy damages caused by disruptions to our systems. 

Similarly,  our  vendors  and  tenants  rely  extensively  on  computer  systems  to  process  transactions  and  manage  their 
businesses  and,  thus,  are  also  at  risk  from,  and  may  be  impacted  by,  cybersecurity  attacks.  An  interruption  in  the  business 
operations of our vendors and tenants resulting from a cybersecurity attack could indirectly impact our business operations.

Further,  in  response  to  the  COVID-19  pandemic,  we  have  transitioned  a  significant  subset  of  our  employees  to  a 
remote work environment in compliance with State and local orders or recommendations, which may exacerbate certain risks to 
our businesses, including an increased demand for information technology resources, increased risk of cybersecurity attacks and 
increased risk of unauthorized dissemination of proprietary or confidential information.

Weather, natural disasters and the impacts of climate change may adversely affect our business.

As  a  result  of  climate  change,  we  may  experience  extreme  weather  and  changes  in  precipitation  and  temperature, 
including  natural  disasters.  Should  the  impact  of  climate  change  be  significant  or  occur  for  lengthy  periods  of  time,  our 
financial condition or results of operations would be adversely affected.

Our  Commercial  Real  Estate  and  Land  Operations  segments  are  vulnerable  to  natural  disasters,  such  as  hurricanes, 
earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, fires, tornadoes and unusually heavy or prolonged rain, which could cause personal injury and 
loss  of  life.    In  addition,  natural  disasters  could  damage  our  real  estate  holdings,  which  could  result  in  substantial  repair  or 
replacement costs to the extent not covered by insurance, a reduction in property values, or a loss of revenue, and could have an 
adverse effect on our ability to develop, lease and sell properties. The occurrence of natural disasters could also cause increases 
in property insurance rates and deductibles, which could reduce demand for, or increase the cost of, owning or developing our 
properties.

14

Drought,  greater  than  normal  rainfall,  hurricanes,  earthquakes,  tsunamis,  floods,  fires,  other  natural  disasters, 
agricultural pestilence, or negligence or intentional malfeasance by individuals, may also adversely impact the conditions of the 
land and thereby harming the prospects for the Land Operations segment, including our renewable energy operations, and our 
land infrastructure and facilities, including dams and reservoirs.

The  Materials  &  Construction  segment  is  notably  impacted  by  weather  conditions.  For  example,  periods  of  wet  or 
other adverse weather conditions could interrupt paving activities, resulting in delayed or loss of revenue, under-utilization of 
crews  and  equipment  and  less  efficient  rates  of  overhead  recovery.  Adverse  weather  conditions  also  restrict  the  demand  for 
aggregate products, increase aggregate production costs and impede its ability to efficiently transport material.

We maintain casualty insurance under policies we believe to be adequate and appropriate. These policies are generally 
subject  to  large  retentions  and  deductibles.  Some  types  of  losses,  such  as  losses  resulting  from  physical  damage  to  dams, 
generally  are not insured. In some cases,  we retain the entire risk of loss because it is  not  economically prudent to purchase 
insurance coverage or because of the perceived remoteness of the risk. Other risks are uninsured because insurance coverage 
may not be commercially available. Finally, we retain all risk of loss that exceeds the limits of our insurance.

Political  crises,  public  health  crises  and  other  events  beyond  our  control  may  adversely  impact  our  operations  and 
profitability.

Political crises (including but not limited to heightened security measures, war, actual or threatened terrorist attacks, 
efforts to combat terrorism or other acts of violence) and public health crises (including, but not limited to, pandemics) may 
cause consumer confidence and spending to decrease, or may affect the ability or willingness of tourists to travel to Hawai‘i, 
thereby  adversely  affecting  Hawai‘i’s  economy  and  us.  Further,  as  our  business  is  concentrated  in  Hawai‘i,  an  attack  on 
Hawai‘i as a result of war or terrorism may severely or irreparably harm the Company.

Such events beyond our control could adversely affect trade and global and local economies and may lead to actions 
limiting  trade  and  population  movement  and  the  movement  of  goods  through  the  supply  chain,  as  well  as  other  impacts  to 
business and consumer demand, which may adversely affect the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition. 

We  are  subject  to,  and  may  in  the  future  be  subject  to,  disputes,  legal  or  other  proceedings,  or  government  inquiries  or 
investigations, that could have an adverse effect on us.

The nature of our business exposes us to the potential for disputes, legal or other proceedings, or government inquiries 
or  investigations,  relating  to  labor  and  employment  matters,  contractual  disputes,  personal  injury  and  property  damage, 
environmental  matters,  construction  litigation,  business  practices,  and  other  matters,  as  discussed  in  the  other  risk  factors 
disclosed  in  this  section.  These  disputes  could  harm  our  business  by  distracting  our  management  from  the  operation  of  our 
business. If these disputes develop into proceedings, these proceedings could result in significant expenditures or losses by us. 
Further,  as  a  real  estate  developer,  we  may  face  warranty  and  construction  defect  claims,  as  described  below  under  “Risks 
Relating to Our Land Operations Segment.”

Changes in the value of pension assets, or a change in pension law or key assumptions, may result in increased expenses or 
plan contributions.

The amount of our employee pension and postretirement benefit costs and obligations are calculated on assumptions 
used  in  the  relevant  actuarial  calculations.  Adverse  changes  in  any  of  these  assumptions  due  to  economic  or  other  factors, 
changes in discount rates, higher health care costs, or lower actual or expected returns on plan assets, may result in increased 
cost or required plan contributions. In addition, a change in federal law, including changes to the Employee Retirement Income 
Security Act and Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation premiums, may adversely affect our single-employer pension plans and 
plan funding. These factors, as well as a decline in the fair value of pension plan assets, may put upward pressure on the cost of 
providing pension and medical benefits and may increase future pension expense and required funding contributions. Although 
we  have  actively  sought  to  control  increases  in  these  costs,  there  can  be  no  assurance  that  we  will  be  successful  in  limiting 
future cost and expense increases.

Impairment in the carrying value of long-lived assets and goodwill could negatively affect our operating results.

We have a significant amount of long-lived assets and goodwill on our consolidated balance sheet and have recorded 
non-cash impairment charges in the past. Under generally accepted accounting principles, long-lived assets are required to be 
reviewed  for  impairment  whenever  adverse  events  or  changes  in  circumstances  indicate  a  possible  impairment.  If  business 
conditions  or  other  factors  cause  profitability  and  cash  flows  to  decline,  we  may  be  required  to  record  additional  non-cash 
impairment charges. Goodwill must be evaluated for impairment annually or more frequently if events indicate it is warranted. 

15

If the carrying value of our reporting units exceeds their current fair value as determined based on the discounted future cash 
flows of the related business, the goodwill is considered impaired and is reduced to fair value by a non-cash charge to earnings. 
Events and conditions that could result in further impairment in the value of our long-lived assets and goodwill include changes 
in  the  industries  in  which  we  operate,  particularly  the  impact  of  a  downturn  in  the  global  or  Hawai‘i  economy,  as  well  as 
competition and advances in technology, adverse changes in the regulatory environment, or other factors leading to reduction in 
expected long-term sales or profitability.

Risks Related to Our Commercial Real Estate Segment

We are subject to a number of factors that could cause leasing rental income to decline.

We  own  a  portfolio  of  commercial  real  estate  assets.  Factors  that  may  adversely  affect  the  portfolio’s  profitability 
include, but are not limited to: (i) a significant number of our tenants are unable to meet their obligations; (ii) increases in non-
recoverable  operating  and  ownership  costs;  (iii)  we  are  unable  to  lease  space  at  our  properties  when  the  space  becomes 
available;  (iv)  the  rental  rates  upon  a  renewal  or  a  new  lease  are  significantly  lower  than  prior  rents  or  do  not  increase 
sufficiently  to  cover  increases  in  operating  and  ownership  costs;  (v)  the  providing  of  lease  concessions,  such  as  free  or 
discounted  rents  and  tenant  improvement  allowances;  and  (vi)  the  discovery  of  hazardous  or  toxic  substances,  or  other 
environmental, culturally-sensitive, or related issues at the property.

The  bankruptcy  or  loss  of  key  tenants  in  our  commercial  real  estate  portfolio  may  adversely  affect  our  cash  flows  and 
profitability.

We may derive significant cash flows and earnings from certain key tenants. If one or more of these tenants declares 
bankruptcy  or  voluntarily  vacates  from  the  leased  premise  and  we  are  unable  to  re-lease  such  space  (or  to  re-lease  it  on 
comparable or more favorable terms), we may be adversely impacted. Additionally, we may be further adversely impacted by 
an  impairment  or  “write-down”  of  intangible  assets,  such  as  lease-in-place  value,  favorable  lease  asset,  or  a  deferred  asset 
related to straight-line lease rent, associated with a tenant bankruptcy or vacancy.

A shift in retail shopping from brick and mortar stores to online shopping may have an adverse impact on our cash flow, 
financial condition and results of operations.

Although  many  of  the  retailers  operating  at  our  properties  sell  groceries  and  other  necessity-based  soft  goods  or 
provide services, the shift to online shopping may cause declines in brick-and-mortar sales generated by certain of our tenants 
and/or may cause certain of our tenants to reduce the size or number of their retail locations in the future. As a result, our cash 
flow, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

We may be unable to renew leases, lease vacant space, or re-lease space as leases expire, thereby increasing or prolonging 
vacancies, which would adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

We may not be able to renew leases, lease vacant space, or re-let space as leases expire.  In addition, we may need to 
offer  substantial  rent  abatements,  tenant  improvements,  early  termination  rights,  or  below-market  renewal  options  to  retain 
existing tenants or attract new tenants.  If the rental rates for our properties decrease, our existing tenants do not renew their 
leases, or we do not re-let our available space, our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows would be adversely 
affected.

Increases in operating expenses would adversely affect our operating results.

Our operating expenses include, but are not limited to, property taxes, insurance, utilities, repairs, and the maintenance 
of  the  common  areas  of  our  commercial  real  estate.  We  may  experience  increases  in  our  operating  expenses,  some  or  all  of 
which  may  be  out  of  our  control.  Most  of  our  leases  require  that  tenants  pay  for  a  share  of  property  taxes,  insurance,  and 
common  area  maintenance  costs.  However,  if  any  property  is  not  fully  occupied,  or  if  recovery  income  from  tenants  is  not 
sufficient to cover operating expenses, then we could be required to expend our own funds for operating expenses. In addition, 
we  may  be  unable  to  renew  leases  or  negotiate  new  leases  with  terms  requiring  our  tenants  to  pay  all  the  property  tax, 
insurance, and common area maintenance costs that tenants currently pay, which would adversely affect our operating results.

Our retail centers may depend on anchor stores or major tenants to attract shoppers and could be adversely affected by the 
loss of, or a store closure by, one or more of these tenants.

Some of our retail centers are anchored by large tenants.  At any time, our tenants may experience a downturn in their 
business that may significantly weaken their financial condition.  As a result, our tenants, including our anchor and other major 

16

tenants, may fail to comply with their contractual obligations to us, seek concessions in order to continue operations, or declare 
bankruptcy, any of which could result in the termination of such tenants’ leases and the loss of rental income attributable to the 
terminated leases.  In addition, certain of our tenants may cease operations while continuing to pay rent, which could decrease 
customer  traffic,  thereby  decreasing  sales  for  our  other  tenants  at  the  applicable  retail  property.    In  addition,  mergers  or 
consolidations  among  retail  establishments  could  result  in  the  closure  of  existing  stores  or  the  duplication  or  geographic 
overlapping of store locations, which could include stores at our retail centers.

Loss of, or a store closure by, an anchor store or major tenant could significantly reduce our occupancy level or the 
rent that we receive from our retail centers.  We may be unable to re-lease vacated space or to re-lease it on comparable or more 
favorable terms, or at all.  In the event of default by an anchor store or major tenant, we may experience delays and costs in 
enforcing our rights as landlord to recover amounts due to us under the terms of our agreements with such parties.  

Certain  of  our  leases  at  our  retail  centers  contain  “co-tenancy”  or  “go-dark”  provisions,  which,  if  triggered,  may  allow 
tenants to pay reduced rent, cease operations, or terminate their leases, which could adversely affect our performance or the 
value of the applicable retail property.

Certain of the leases at our retail centers contain “co-tenancy” provisions that establish conditions related to a tenant’s 
obligation to remain open, the amount of rent payable, or a tenant’s obligation to continue occupying space, including (i) the 
presence of an anchor tenant, (ii) the continued operation of an anchor tenant’s store, and (iii) minimum occupancy levels at the 
applicable property.  If a co-tenancy provision is triggered by a failure of any of these conditions, a tenant could have the right 
to cease operations, to terminate its lease early, or to a reduction of its rent.  In addition, certain of the leases at our retail centers 
contain  “go-dark”  provisions  that  allow  the  tenant  to  cease  operations  while  continuing  to  pay  rent.    This  could  result  in 
decreased customer traffic at the property, thereby decreasing sales for our other tenants at such property, which may result in 
our other tenants being unable to pay their minimum rents or expense recovery charges.  Such provisions may also result in 
lower rental revenue generated under the applicable leases.  To the extent co-tenancy or go-dark provisions in our leases result 
in lower revenue or tenant sales, tenants’ rights to terminate their leases early, or to a reduction of their rent, our performance or 
the value of the applicable retail center could be adversely affected.

The value of our development-for-hold projects and commercial properties is affected by a number of factors.

We  have  significant  investments  in  various  commercial  real  estate  properties  and  development-for-hold  projects. 
Weakness  in  the  real  estate  sector,  especially  in  Hawai‘i,  difficulty  in  obtaining  or  renewing  project-level  financing,  and 
changes in our investment and redevelopment and development-for-hold strategy, among other factors, may affect the fair value 
of these real estate assets. If the undiscounted cash flows of our commercial properties, or redevelopment or development-for-
hold projects, were to decline below the carrying value of those assets, we would be required to recognize an impairment loss if 
the fair value of those assets were below their carrying value.

We  may  be  unable  to  identify  and  complete  acquisitions  of  properties  that  meet  our  criteria,  which  may  impede  our 
growth.

Our business strategy involves the acquisition of retail, office, industrial, and other properties.  These activities require 
us  to  identify  suitable  acquisition  candidates  or  investment  opportunities  that  meet  our  criteria.    We  evaluate  the  market  of 
available  properties  and  may  attempt  to  acquire  properties  when  strategic  opportunities  exist.    We  may  be  unable  to  acquire 
properties that we have identified as potential acquisition opportunities due to various factors, including but not limited to, the 
inability to (i) negotiate terms agreeable to the parties involved, (ii) satisfy conditions to closing, or (iii) finance the acquisition 
on favorable terms, or at all. In addition, we may incur significant costs and divert management attention in connection with 
evaluating  and  negotiating  potential  acquisitions,  including  ones  that  we  are  subsequently  not  able  to  complete.    If  we  are 
unable to acquire properties on favorable terms, or at all, our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flow could be 
adversely affected.

We face competition for the acquisition and development of real estate properties, which may impede our ability to grow our 
operations or may increase the cost of these activities.

We  compete  with  many  other  entities  for  the  acquisition  of  commercial  real  estate  and  land  suitable  for  new 
developments,  including  other  REITs,  private  institutional  investors,  and  other  owner-operators  of  commercial  real  estate.  
Larger REITs may enjoy competitive advantages that result from a lower cost of capital.  These competitors may increase the 
market prices we would have to pay in order to acquire properties.  If we are unable to acquire properties that meet our criteria 
at prices we deem reasonable, our ability to grow may be adversely affected.

17

We are subject to risks associated with real estate construction and development.

Our  redevelopment  and  development-for-hold  projects  are  subject  to  risks  relating  to  our  ability  to  complete  our 
projects  on  time  and  on  budget.  Factors  that  may  result  in  a  development  project  exceeding  budget  or  being  prevented  from 
completion include, but are not limited to: (i) our inability to secure sufficient financing or insurance on favorable terms, or at 
all;  (ii)  construction  delays,  defects,  or  cost  overruns,  which  may  increase  project  development  costs;  (iii)  an  increase  in 
commodity  or  construction  costs,  including  labor  costs;  (iv)  the  discovery  of  hazardous  or  toxic  substances,  or  other 
environmental,  culturally-sensitive,  or  related  issues;  (v)  an  inability  to  obtain,  or  a  significant  delay  in  obtaining,  zoning, 
construction,  occupancy  and  other  required  governmental  permits  and  authorizations;  (vi)  difficulty  in  complying  with  local, 
city,  county  and  state  rules  and  regulations  regarding  permitting,  zoning,  subdivision,  utilities,  and  water  quality,  as  well  as 
federal  rules  and  regulations  regarding  air  and  water  quality  and  protection  of  endangered  species  and  their  habitats;  (vii) 
insufficient  infrastructure  capacity  or  availability  (e.g.,  water,  sewer  and  roads)  to  serve  the  needs  of  our  projects;  (viii)  an 
inability to secure tenants necessary to support the project or maintain compliance with debt covenants; (ix) failure to achieve or 
sustain  anticipated  occupancy  levels;  (x)  condemnation  of  all  or  parts  of  development  or  operating  properties,  which  could 
adversely affect the value or viability of such projects; and (xi) instability in the financial industry could reduce the availability 
of financing.

Significant  instability  in  the  financial  industry,  may  result  in  declining  property  values  and  increasing  defaults  on 
loans.  This,  in  turn,  could  lead  to  increased  regulations,  tightened  credit  requirements,  reduced  liquidity  and  increased  credit 
risk premiums for virtually all borrowers. Deterioration in the credit environment may also impact us in other ways, including 
the credit or solvency of vendors, tenants, or joint venture partners, the ability of partners to fund their financial obligations to 
joint ventures and our access to mortgage financing for our own properties.

Commercial real estate investments are relatively illiquid.

Our ability to promptly sell one or more properties in our portfolio in response to changing economic, financial and 
investment  conditions  is  limited.  The  real  estate  market  is  affected  by  many  factors,  such  as  general  economic  conditions, 
supply and demand, availability of financing, interest rates and other factors that are beyond our control. We cannot be certain 
that we will be able to sell any property for the price and other terms we seek, or that any price or other terms offered by a 
prospective  purchaser would  be  acceptable to us.  We also cannot estimate with  certainty  the length of  time needed  to find a 
willing purchaser and to complete the sale of a property. Factors that impede our ability to dispose of properties could adversely 
affect our financial condition and operating results.

Risks Related to Our Land Operations Segment

We are subject to risks associated with real estate construction and development.

Our development-for-sale projects are subject to risks that are similar to those described in the “We are subject to risks 
associated  with  real  estate  construction  and  development”  risk  factor  above,  under  the  “Risks  Relating  to  Our  Commercial 
Real Estate Segment” section. 

Significant instability in the financial industry may result in declining property values and increasing defaults on loans. 
This,  in  turn,  could  lead  to  increased  regulations,  tightened  credit  requirements,  reduced  liquidity  and  increased  credit  risk 
premiums for virtually all borrowers. Fewer loan products and strict loan qualifications make it more difficult for borrowers to 
finance  the  purchase  of  units  in  our  projects.  Additionally,  more  stringent  requirements  to  obtain  financing  for  buyers  of 
commercial properties make it significantly more difficult for us to sell commercial properties and may negatively impact the 
sales prices and other terms of such sales.  Deterioration in the credit environment may also impact us in other ways, including 
the credit or solvency of customers, vendors, or joint venture partners, the ability of partners to fund their financial obligations 
to joint ventures and our access to mortgage financing for our own properties.

Governmental entities have adopted or may adopt regulatory requirements that may restrict our development activity.

We are subject to laws and regulations that affect the land development process, including zoning and permitted land 
uses. Government entities have adopted or may approve regulations or laws that could negatively impact the availability of land 
and development opportunities. It is possible that requirements will be imposed on developers that could adversely affect our 
ability  to  develop  projects  in  the  affected  markets  or  could  require  that  we  satisfy  additional  administrative  and  regulatory 
requirements, which could delay development progress or increase the development costs to us.

18

Real estate development projects are subject to warranty and construction defect claims, in the ordinary course of business, 
that can be significant.

In our development-for-sale projects, we are subject to warranty and construction defect claims arising in the ordinary 
course of business. The amounts payable under these claims, both in legal fees and remedying any construction defects, can be 
significant and could exceed the profits made from the project. As a consequence, we may maintain liability insurance, obtain 
indemnities and certificates of insurance from contractors generally covering claims related to workmanship and materials, and 
create warranty and other reserves for projects based on historical experience and qualitative risks associated with the type of 
project  built.  Because  of  the  uncertainties  inherent  in  these  matters,  we  cannot  provide  any  assurance  that  our  insurance 
coverage, contractor arrangements and reserves will be adequate to address some or all of our warranty and construction defect 
claims  in  the  future.  For  example,  contractual  indemnities  may  be  difficult  to  enforce,  we  may  be  responsible  for  applicable 
self-insured  retentions,  and  certain  claims  may  not  be  covered  by  insurance  or  may  exceed  applicable  coverage  limits. 
Additionally, the coverage offered, and the availability of liability insurance for construction defects, could be limited or costly. 
Accordingly, we cannot provide any assurance that such coverage will be adequate, available at an acceptable cost, or available 
at all.

We are involved in joint ventures and subject to risks associated with joint venture relationships.

We are involved in joint venture relationships and may initiate future joint venture projects. A joint venture involves 
certain  risks,  such  as,  among  others:  (i)  we  may  not  have  voting  control  over  the  joint  venture;  (ii)  we  may  not  be  able  to 
maintain  good  relationships  with  our  venture  partners;  (iii)  the  venture  partner,  at  any  time,  may  have  economic  or  business 
interests  that  are  inconsistent  with  our  economic  or  business  interests;  (iv)  the  venture  partner  may  fail  to  fund  its  share  of 
capital for operations and development activities or to fulfill its other commitments, including providing accurate and timely 
accounting and financial information to us; (v) the joint venture or venture partner could lose key personnel; (vi) the venture 
partner could become insolvent, requiring us to assume all risks and capital requirements related to the joint venture project, and 
any resulting bankruptcy proceedings could have an adverse impact on the operation of the project or the joint venture; and (vii) 
we may be required to perform on guarantees we have provided, or agree to provide in the future, related to the completion of a 
joint  venture’s  construction  and  development  of  a  project,  joint  venture  indebtedness,  or  on  indemnification  of  a  third  party 
serving as surety for a joint venture’s bonds for such completion.

The value of our development projects and/or our joint venture investments is affected by a number of factors.

We have significant investments in various development projects and joint venture investments. Weakness in the real 
estate  sector,  especially  in  Hawai‘i,  difficulty  in  obtaining  or  renewing  project-level  financing,  difficulty  in  obtaining 
governmental  permits  and  authorizations,  difficulty  in  securing  infrastructure  capacity  or  availability  (e.g.,  water,  sewer,  and 
roads), and changes in our investment and development strategy, among other factors, may affect the fair value of these real 
estate assets owned by us or by our joint ventures. If the fair value of our joint venture development projects were to decline 
below  the  carrying  value  of  those  assets,  and  that  decline  was  other-than-temporary,  we  would  be  required  to  recognize  an 
impairment loss. Additionally, if the undiscounted cash flows of our development projects were to decline below the carrying 
value of those assets, we would be required to recognize an impairment loss if the fair value of those assets were below their 
carrying value.

Our ability to use or lease agricultural lands for agricultural purposes may be limited by government regulation.

Given the large scale of our agricultural landholdings on Kauai, many of the third parties to whom we lease land for 
agricultural  purposes  may  be  characterized  as  large  scale  commercial  agricultural  operations.  Legislation  passed  on  Kauai 
placed restrictions on the ability of such operations to use land within specified distances of highways, schools, oceans, streams, 
residences, parks, care homes, hospitals and other similar uses, to grow crops other than ground cover. This legislation also put 
significant restrictions regarding, and public notification obligations concerning, pesticide use on such operations and limited 
their ability to use genetically modified organism (GMO) crops. In November 2016, the Kauai legislation was invalidated by 
the courts. If additional legislative agricultural restrictions are passed, such as restrictions on the use of pesticides, our ability to 
use  or  lease  lands  for  large  scale  agricultural  purposes,  and  any  rents  that  we  can  achieve  for  those  lands,  may  be  adversely 
affected.

Agricultural land is illiquid and difficult to value.

Even if qualified farm lessees can be identified and engaged in leases, agricultural operations are high risk by nature 
and turnover can be expected. From a landlord’s perspective, agricultural leases produce only modest rents that could imply a 
valuation of the land that could materially understate other methods of appraising asset value.

19

The lack of water for agricultural irrigation could adversely affect the operations and profitability of the Land Operations 
segment.

It  is  crucial  to  have  access  to  sufficient,  reliable  and  affordable  sources  of  water  in  order  to  conduct  sustainable 
agricultural activity on our lands. Existing infrastructure serving these agricultural lands rely on the collection and transmission 
of  surface  waters.  If  the  ability  to  divert  surface  waters  for  agricultural  use  is  limited  or  there  is  insufficient  rainfall  on  an 
extended basis, this would have a significant, adverse effect on the utility of the land and our ability to employ the land in active 
agricultural use. On Maui and Kauai, where our agricultural lands are located, there are regulatory and legal challenges to water 
diversion from streams.

Water availability also is critical to the successful implementation of farming plans on those lands purchased from us 
by  Mahi  Pono  Holdings  LLC  ("Mahi  Pono")  in  conjunction  with  our  sale  of  certain  agricultural  landholdings  on  Maui  (the 
"Agricultural  Land  Sale").  As  described  in  our  public  filings  associated  with  that  sale,  as  well  as  Note  23  of  Notes  to 
Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Part II, Item 8 of this report, if Mahi Pono is unable to secure sufficient water to 
support the agricultural plans for which it purchased the lands, this could trigger certain financial obligations.

Our power sales contracts could be replaced on less favorable terms or may not be replaced.

Our power sales contracts expire at various points in the future and may not be replaced or could be replaced on less 

favorable terms, which could adversely affect Land Operations profitability.

The market for power sales in Hawai‘i is limited.

The power distribution systems in Hawai‘i are small and island-specific; currently, there is no ability to move power 
generated  on  one  island  to  any  other  island.  In  addition,  Hawai‘i  law  generally  limits  the  ability  of  independent  power 
producers,  such  as  us,  to  sell  their  output  to  firms  other  than  the  respective  utilities  on  each  island,  without  themselves 
becoming utilities and subject to the State’s Public Utilities Commission (PUC) regulation. Further, any sales of electricity by 
us  to  the  utilities  on  each  island  are  subject  to  the  approval  of  the  PUC.  Unlike  some  areas  in  the  Mainland,  Hawai‘i’s 
independent power producers have no ability to use utility infrastructure to transfer power to other locations.

Governmental entities have adopted or may adopt regulatory requirements related to our dams, reservoirs, and other water 
infrastructure that may adversely affect our operations.

We  are  subject  to  inspections  and  regulations  that  apply  to  certain  of  our  dams,  reservoirs,  and  other  water 
infrastructure.  Certain  of  these  facilities  have  deficiencies  noted  by  the  State  of  Hawai‘i,  which  we  are  working  with  the 
regulators to resolve. It is possible that current or future requirements imposed on landowners and dam owners/operators may 
require that we satisfy additional administrative and regulatory requirements and thereby increase the holding costs to us and/or 
decrease the operational utility of the subject facilities.

Risks Related to Our Materials & Construction Segment

Our Materials & Construction segment’s revenue growth and profitability are dependent on factors outside of our control.

Our  Materials  &  Construction  segment’s  ability  to  grow  its  revenues  and  improve  profitability  may  be  impacted  by 
factors  outside  of  our  control,  which  include,  but  are  not  limited  to:  (i)  decreased  government  funding  for  infrastructure 
projects;  (ii)  reduced  spending  by  private  sector  customers  resulting  from  poor  economic  conditions  in  Hawai‘i;  (iii)  an 
increased  number  of  competitors;  (iv)  less  success  in  competitive  bidding  for  contracts;  (v)  a  decline  in  transportation  and 
logistical  costs,  which  may  result  in  customers  purchasing  material  from  sources  located  outside  of  Hawai‘i  in  a  more  cost-
efficient  manner;  (vi)  limitations  on  access  to  necessary  working  capital  and  investment  capital  to  sustain  growth;  and  (vii) 
inability to hire and retain essential personnel and to acquire equipment to support growth.

Economic downturns or reductions in government funding of infrastructure projects could reduce our revenues and profits 
from our materials and construction businesses.

The  segment’s  products  are  used  in  public  infrastructure  projects,  which  include  the  construction,  maintenance  and 
improvement  of  highways,  streets,  roads,  airport  runways  and  similar  projects.  Our  materials  and  construction  businesses, 
including  our  aggregates  business,  are  highly  dependent  on  the  amount  and  timing  of  infrastructure  work  funded  by  various 
governmental  entities,  which,  in  turn,  depends  on  the  overall  condition  of  the  economy,  the  need  for  new  or  replacement 
infrastructure, the priorities placed on various projects funded by governmental entities and federal, state or local government 
spending levels. We cannot be assured of the existence, amount and timing of appropriations for spending on these and other 

20

future  projects,  including  state  and  federal  spending  on  roads  and  highways.  Spending  on  infrastructure  could  decline  for 
numerous  reasons,  including  decreased  revenues  received  by  state  and  local  governments  for  spending  on  such  projects 
(including  federal  funding),  and  other  competing  priorities  for  available  state,  local  and  federal  funds.  State  spending  on 
highway  and  other  projects  can  be  adversely  affected  by  decreases  or  delays  in,  or  uncertainties  regarding,  federal  highway 
funding.  The  segment  is  reliant  upon  contracts  with  the  City  and  County  of  Honolulu,  the  State  of  Hawai‘i  and  the  Federal 
Government for a significant portion of its revenues. If revenues and profits are impacted by economic downturns or reductions 
in government funding, the segment’s long-lived assets and goodwill may become impaired.

We may face community opposition to the operation or expansion of quarries or other facilities.

Quarries  and  other  facilities  require  special  and  conditional  use  permits  to  operate.  Permitting  and  licensing 
applications and proceedings and regulatory enforcement proceedings are open to public scrutiny and comment. In addition, the 
Makakilo quarry is adjacent to residential areas and heavy equipment and explosives are used in the mining process. As a result, 
our  Materials  &  Construction  operations  may  be  subject  to  community  opposition  and  adverse  publicity  that  may  have  a 
negative effect on operations and delay or limit any future expansion or development of operations.

Significant contracts may be canceled, or we may be disqualified from bidding for new contracts.

Governmental  entities  typically  have  the  right  to  cancel  their  contracts  with  our  construction  businesses  at  any  time 
with  payment  generally  only  for  the  work  already  completed  plus  a  negotiated  compensatory  overhead  recovery  amount.  In 
addition, our construction businesses could be prohibited from bidding on certain governmental contracts if we fail to maintain 
qualifications required by those entities, such as maintaining an acceptable safety record.

If our materials and construction businesses are unable to accurately estimate the overall risks, requirements or costs when 
bidding on or negotiating a contract that we are ultimately awarded, the segment may achieve a lower than anticipated profit 
or incur a loss on the contract.

The  majority  of  the  Materials  &  Construction  segment’s  revenues  are  derived  from  “quantity  pricing”  (fixed  unit 
price) contracts. Quantity pricing contracts require the provision of line-item materials at a fixed unit price based on approved 
quantities irrespective of actual per unit costs. Expected profits on contracts are realized only if costs are accurately estimated 
and then successfully controlled. If cost estimates for a contract are inaccurate, or if the contract is not performed within cost 
estimates, then cost overruns may result in losses or cause the contract not to be as profitable as expected.

If our materials and construction businesses are unable to attract and retain key personnel and skilled labor, or encounter 
labor difficulties, the ability to bid for and successfully complete contracts may be negatively impacted.

The  ability  to  attract  and  retain  reliable,  qualified  personnel  is  a  significant  factor  that  enables  our  materials  and 
construction  businesses  to  successfully  bid  for  and  profitably  complete  their  work.  This  includes  members  of  management, 
project  managers,  estimators,  supervisors,  and  foremen.  The  segment’s  future  success  also  will  depend  on  its  ability  to  hire, 
train and retain, or to attract, when needed, highly skilled management personnel. If competition for these employees is intense, 
it  could  be  difficult  to  hire  and  retain  the  personnel  necessary  to  support  operations.  If  we  do  not  succeed  in  retaining  our 
current  employees  and  attracting,  developing  and  retaining  new  highly  skilled  employees,  segment  operations  and  future 
earnings may be negatively impacted.

A  majority  of  segment  personnel  are  unionized.  Any  work  stoppage  or  other  labor  dispute  involving  unionized 

workforce, or inability to renew contracts with the unions, could have an adverse effect on operations.

Our construction and construction-related businesses may fail to meet schedule or performance requirements of our paving 
contracts.

Asphalt paving contracts have penalties for late completion. In most instances, projects must be completed within an 
allotted  number  of  business  or  calendar  days  from  the  time  the  notice  to  proceed  is  received,  subject  to  allowances  for 
additional days due to weather delays or additional work requested by the customer. If our construction businesses subsequently 
fail to complete the project as scheduled, we may be responsible for contractually agreed-upon liquidated damages, an amount 
assessed per day beyond the contractually allotted days, at the discretion of the customer. Under these circumstances, the total 
project  cost  could  exceed  original  estimates  and  could  result  in  a  loss  of  profit  or  a  loss  on  the  project.  Additionally,  our 
construction businesses enter into lump sum and quantity pricing contracts where profits can be adversely affected by a number 
of factors beyond our control, which can cause actual costs to materially exceed the costs estimated at the time of our original 
bid.

21

Timing of the award and performance of new contracts could have an adverse effect on Materials & Construction segment 
operating results and cash flow.

It  is  generally  very  difficult  to  predict  whether  and  when  bids  for  new  projects  will  be  offered  for  tender,  as  these 
projects frequently involve a lengthy and complex design and bidding process, which is affected by a number of factors, such as 
market conditions, funding arrangements and governmental approvals. Because of these factors, segment results of operations 
and cash flows may fluctuate from quarter to quarter and year to year, and the fluctuation may be substantial.

The  uncertainty  of  the  timing  of  contract  awards  after  a  winning  bid  is  submitted  may  also  present  difficulties  in 
matching  the  size  of  equipment  fleet  and  work  crews  with  contract  needs.  In  some  cases,  our  materials  and  construction 
businesses  may  maintain  and  bear  the  cost  of  more  equipment  than  is  currently  required,  in  anticipation  of  future  needs  for 
existing contracts or expected future contracts.

In addition, the timing of the revenues, earnings and cash flows from contracts can be delayed by a number of factors, 
including delays in receiving material and equipment from suppliers and services from subcontractors and changes in the scope 
of work to be performed.

Dependence on a limited number of customers could adversely affect our materials and construction businesses and results 
of operations.

Due  to  the  size  and  nature  of  the  segment’s  construction  contracts,  one  or  a  few  customers,  such  as  the  Federal 
Government,  the  State  of  Hawai‘i,  and  the  various  counties  in  Hawai‘i,  have  in  the  past  and  may  in  the  future  represent  a 
substantial portion of consolidated segment revenues and gross profits in any one year or over a period of several consecutive 
years.  Similarly,  segment  backlog  frequently  reflects  multiple  contracts  for  certain  customers;  therefore,  one  customer  may 
comprise  a  significant  percentage  of  backlog  at  a  certain  point  in  time.  The  loss  of  business  from  any  such  customer,  or  a 
default or delay in payment on a significant scale by a customer, could have an adverse effect on our materials and construction 
businesses or results of operations.

Our materials and construction businesses are likely to require more capital over the longer term.

The property and machinery needed to produce aggregate products and perform asphaltic concrete paving contracts are 
expensive.  The  segment’s  ability  to  generate  sufficient  cash  flow  to  fund  these  expenditures  depends  on  future  performance, 
which  will  be  subject  to  general  economic  conditions,  industry  cycles  and  financial,  business,  and  other  factors  affecting 
operations, many of which are beyond our control. If the segment is unable to generate sufficient cash to operate its businesses, 
it may be required, among other things, to further reduce or delay planned capital or operating expenditures.

An  inability  to  obtain  bonding  could  limit  the  aggregate  dollar  amount  of  contracts  that  our  materials  and  construction 
businesses are able to pursue.

As is customary in the construction industry, we may be required to provide surety bonds to our customers to secure 
our  performance  under  construction  contracts.  Our  ability  to  obtain  surety  bonds  primarily  depends  upon  our  capitalization, 
working  capital,  past  performance,  management  expertise  and  reputation  and  certain  external  factors,  including  the  overall 
capacity  of  the  surety  market.  Surety  companies  consider  such  factors  in  relationship  to  the  amount  of  backlog  and  their 
underwriting standards, which may change from time to time. Events that adversely affect the insurance and bonding markets 
generally may result in bonding becoming more difficult to obtain in the future, or being available only at a significantly greater 
cost. The inability to obtain adequate bonding would limit the amount that our construction businesses are able to bid on new 
contracts and could have an adverse effect on the segment’s future revenues and business prospects.

Our  Materials  &  Construction  segment  operations  are  subject  to  hazards  that  may  cause  personal  injury  or  property 
damage, thereby subjecting us to liabilities and possible losses, which may not be covered by insurance.

Segment  employees  are  subject  to  the  usual  hazards  associated  with  performing  construction  activities  on  road 
construction sites, plants and quarries. Operating hazards can cause personal injury and loss of life, damage to or destruction of 
property,  plant  and  equipment  and  environmental  damage.  We  maintain  general  liability  and  excess  liability  insurance, 
workers’ compensation insurance, auto insurance and other types of insurance, all in amounts consistent with our materials and 
construction  businesses’  risk  of  loss  and  industry  practice,  but  this  insurance  may  not  be  adequate  to  cover  all  losses  or 
liabilities incurred in operations.

Insurance liabilities are difficult to assess and quantify due to unknown factors, including the severity of an injury, the 
determination  of  liability  in  proportion  to  other  parties,  the  number  of  incidents  not  reported  and  the  effectiveness  of  the 
segment’s  safety  program.  If  insurance  claims  or  costs  were  above  our  estimates,  our  materials  and  construction  businesses 

22

might be required to use working capital to satisfy these claims, which could impact their ability to maintain or expand their 
operations.

Environmental  and  other  regulatory  matters  could  adversely  affect  our  materials  and  construction  businesses’  ability  to 
conduct business and could require significant expenditures.

Segment  operations  are  subject  to  various  environmental  laws  and  regulations  relating  to  the  management,  disposal 
and remediation of hazardous substances, climate change and the emission and discharge of pollutants into the air and water. 
Our materials and construction businesses could be held liable for such contamination created not only from their own activities 
but also from the historical activities of others on properties that the segment acquires or leases. Segment operations are also 
subject to laws and regulations relating to workplace safety and worker health, which, among other things, regulate employee 
exposure to hazardous substances. Violations of such laws and regulations could subject us to substantial fines and penalties, 
cleanup costs, third-party property damage or personal injury claims. In addition, these laws and regulations have become, and 
enforcement practices and compliance standards are becoming, increasingly stringent. Moreover, we cannot predict the nature, 
scope or effect of legislation or regulatory requirements that could be imposed, or how existing or future laws or regulations 
will  be  administered  or  interpreted,  with  respect  to  products  or  activities  to  which  they  have  not  been  previously  applied. 
Compliance with more stringent laws or regulations, as well as more vigorous enforcement policies of the regulatory agencies, 
could  require  substantial  expenditures  for,  among  other  things,  equipment  not  currently  possessed,  or  the  acquisition  or 
modification of permits applicable to segment activities.

Short  supplies  and  volatility  in  the  costs  of  fuel,  energy  and  raw  materials  may  adversely  affect  our  materials  and 
construction businesses.

Our  materials  and  construction  businesses  require  a  continued  supply  of  diesel  fuel,  electricity  and  other  energy 
sources for production and transportation. The financial results of these businesses have at times been affected by the high costs 
of  these  energy  sources.  Significant  increases  in  costs,  or  reduced  availability  of  these  energy  sources,  have  and  may  in  the 
future  reduce  financial  results.  Moreover,  fluctuations  in  the  supply  and  costs  of  these  energy  sources  can  make  planning 
business operations more difficult. We do not hedge our fuel price risk, but instead focus on volume-related price reductions, 
fuel efficiency, alternative fuel sources, consumption and the natural hedge created by the ability to increase aggregates prices.

Similarly, segment operations also require a continued supply of liquid asphalt, which serves as a key raw material in 
the production of asphaltic concrete. Liquid asphalt is subject to potential supply constraints and significant price fluctuations, 
which are generally correlated to the price of crude oil, though not as closely as diesel or gasoline, and are beyond the control of 
our  materials  and  construction  businesses.  Accordingly,  significant  increases  in  the  price  of  crude  oil  will  have  an  adverse 
impact on the financial results of the Materials & Construction segment due to higher costs of production of asphaltic concrete. 
Conversely,  significant  declines  in  the  price  of  oil  had,  and  in  the  future  may  have,  an  adverse  impact  on  our  material  and 
construction sales of liquid asphalt concrete, due to lower costs of importing asphalt to Hawai‘i, which may result in customers 
sourcing liquid asphalt from competition located outside of Hawai‘i.

Active development-for-sale projects

The  Company's  Land  Operations  segment  has  current  development-for-sale  projects  encompassing  resort  residential 
and  light  industrial  lots  for  sale  in  Hawai‘i.  This  list  has  been  reduced  significantly  in  recent  years  due  to  successful 
monetization  efforts  and  the  decision  not  to  initiate  new  development-for-sale  projects.  The  following  is  a  summary  of  the 
Company’s active real estate development-for-sale portfolio as of December 31, 2020:

Maui Business Park: Maui Business Park (Phase II) (“MBP II”) represents the second phase of the Company's Maui 

Business Park project in Kahului, Maui. MBP II is zoned for light industrial, retail and office use.

Kukui‘ula  and  Other  Kukui‘ula  Related  Investments:  In  April  2002,  the  Company  entered  into  a  joint  venture  with 
DMB  Communities  II  (“DMBC”),  an  affiliate  of  DMB  Associates,  Inc.  ("DMB"),  an  Arizona-based  developer  of  master-
planned  communities,  for  the  development  of  Kukui‘ula  on  acreage  that  consisted  of  historical  A&B  landholdings.  As  of 
December 31, 2020, total capital contributed to the main project was approximately $323 million, which included $30 million
representing the value of land initially contributed by the Company.

Other Kukui‘ula Related Investments includes joint venture investments in two vertical construction, development-for-

sale projects at Kukui‘ula, as well as notes receivable from a Kukui‘ula development-for-sale project.

Renewable energy

The Company is directly involved in the renewable energy field and has been a clean energy producer for over 115 
years.  Through  its  history,  the  Company  has  produced  renewable  energy  through  hydroelectric  and  solar  power  facilities  on 
Kauai,  operated  by  its  wholly-owned  subsidiary,  McBryde  Resources,  Inc.  (“McBryde”),  and  has  historically  invested  over 
$37.0 million in solar projects on Kauai and Oahu.  In connection with its strategy to simplify its business, during the quarter 
ended  September  30,  2020,  the  Company  sold  its  solar  power  facility  in  Port  Allen  on  Kauai  to  an  independent  operator  of 
renewable energy facilities in Hawai‘i.

During  the  year  ended  December  31,  2020,  McBryde  produced  32,025  megawatt-hours  ("MWH")  of  hydroelectric 
power (compared to 26,572 MWH in 2019) and 9,215 MWH of solar power (compared to 11,122 MWH in 2019). To the extent 
it is not used in A&B-related operations, McBryde sells electricity to Kauai Island Utility Cooperative (“KIUC”). Power sales 
in 2020 amounted to 29,755 MWH (compared to 30,756 MWH in 2019).

27

Materials & Construction

Grace  Pacific  owns  542  acres  in  Makakilo,  Oahu,  approximately  200  acres  of  which  are  used  for  its  quarrying 
operations.  Approximately  635,000  tons  of  rock  were  delivered  by  Grace  Pacific  in  2020.  The  operation  of  the  quarry  is 
governed by special and conditional use permits, which allow Grace Pacific to extract aggregate through 2032. Grace Pacific 
also owns approximately 264 acres on Molokai, which are licensed to a third-party operator for quarrying operations. 

In addition, Grace Pacific owns and operates on- and off-highway rolling stock, which consist of heavy-duty trucks, 
passenger  vehicles  and  various  road  paving,  quarrying  and  operations  equipment.  Additionally,  Grace  Pacific  owns  and 
operates  non-rolling  stock  items  used  in  its  operations,  such  as  generators,  transit  tankers,  light  towers,  message  boards  and 
nuclear gauges. The Materials & Construction segment has six rock crushing plants and five asphaltic concrete plants (two on 
Oahu, two on Kauai and one on Hawai‘i (island)).

Business Overview

Reportable segments

The Company operates three segments: Commercial Real Estate; Land Operations; and Materials & Construction. A 

description of each of the Company's reporting segments is as follows:

•

•

Commercial Real Estate ("CRE") - This segment functions as a vertically integrated real estate investment company 
with  core  competencies  in  investments  and  acquisitions  (i.e.,  identifying  opportunities  and  acquiring  properties); 
construction  and  development  (i.e.,  designing  and  ground-up  development  of  new  properties  or  repositioning  and 
redevelopment  of  existing  properties);  and  in-house  leasing  and  property  management  (i.e.,  executing  new  and 
renegotiating  renewal  lease  arrangements,  managing  its  properties'  day-to-day  operations  and  maintaining  positive 
tenant relationships). The Company's preferred asset classes include improved properties in retail and industrial spaces 
and  also  urban  ground  leases.  Its  focus  within  improved  retail  properties,  in  particular,  is  on  grocery-anchored 
neighborhood shopping centers that meet the daily needs of Hawai‘i citizens. Through its core competencies and with 
its  experience  and  relationships  in  Hawai‘i,  the  Company  seeks  to  create  special  places  that  enhance  the  lives  of 
Hawai‘i residents and to provide venues and opportunities that enable its tenants to thrive. Income from this segment is 
principally generated by owning, operating and leasing real estate assets. 

Land  Operations  -  This  segment  includes  the  Company's  legacy  assets  and  landholdings  that  are  subject  to  the 
Company's simplification and monetization effort. Financial results from this segment are principally derived from real 
estate development and land sales, income/loss from real estate joint ventures, hydroelectric energy and other legacy 
business activities.

• Materials & Construction ("M&C") - This segment operates as Hawai‘i's largest asphalt paving contractor and is one 
of  the  state's  largest  natural  materials  and  infrastructure  construction  companies.  Such  activities  are  primarily 
conducted  through  its  wholly-owned  subsidiary,  Grace  Pacific  LLC  ("Grace  Pacific"),  a  materials  and  construction 
company in Hawai‘i.

Simplification strategy

As a result of its conversion to a REIT and consequent de-emphasis of non-REIT operating businesses, the Company 
has  established  a  strategy  to  simplify  its  business,  which  includes  ongoing  efforts  to  accelerate  the  monetization  of  land  and 
related  assets  and  also  includes  evaluating  strategic  options  for  the  eventual  monetization  of  some  or  all  of  its  Materials  & 
Construction businesses. 

While the Company continues to evaluate options for the Grace Pacific paving business, during the second quarter of 
2020, the Company consummated the sale of one of Grace Pacific's subsidiary operations, GP/RM Prestress, LLC ("GPRM"), a 
provider  of  precast/prestressed  concrete  products  and  services  (which  the  Company  historically  consolidated  through  the 
disposal date due to holding a controlling financial interest through its majority voting interests). In connection with this sale 
and  disposal,  the  Company  recognized  a  write-down  of  $5.6  million  (based  on  fair  value  less  cost  to  sell)  related  to  GPRM 
which was included in Impairment of assets in the consolidated statements of operations in the year ended December 31, 2020.

Related to the Land Operations segment, during the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company executed a purchase 
and sale agreement and consummated the sale of assets related to its solar power facility in Port Allen on Kauai for purchase 
consideration  (measured  at  the  date  of  disposal)  of  approximately  $17.1  million.  In  connection  with  the  sale,  the  Company 
recorded a gain on disposal of approximately $8.9 million which was included in Gain (loss) on disposal of non-core assets, net 
in the consolidated statements of operations.

Moreover, related to its unconsolidated equity method investments in joint venture development projects at Kukui‘ula, 
the Company continues its evaluation of opportunities to monetize these investments or, in conjunction with the joint venture 
partners, its evaluation of a range of alternative strategies to accelerate the monetization of the land in the joint venture projects. 
Any potential transaction related to either the investments or the assets within the joint venture projects would be dependent 
upon a number of external factors that may be beyond the Company's and/or joint venture projects' control, including, among 
other  factors,  market  conditions,  industry  trends  and  the  interest  of  third  parties  in  the  Kukui‘ula  development  projects. 
Accordingly, there can be no assurance that any of the options evaluated will be pursued or completed.  Further, there can be no 
assurance  that  the  outcome  of  the  evaluation  of  strategic  alternatives  or  any  potential  transaction  will  result  in  the  Company 
being able to maintain the carrying value of the Kukui‘ula joint venture development projects.

32

Coronavirus outbreak

In  December  2019,  COVID-19  was  first  reported  in  Wuhan,  China,  and  on  March  11,  2020,  the  World  Health 
Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted the global economy and has 
contributed to significant volatility in financial markets. Considerable uncertainty surrounds COVID-19 and its effects on the 
population,  as  well  as  the  effectiveness  of  any  responses  taken  by  government  authorities.  The  pandemic  resulted  in  a 
significant  decline  in  Hawai‘i  tourism  and  increase  in  business  closures  during  the  year  ended  December  31,  2020;  it  has 
significantly impacted the Company's business due largely to the extreme hardships facing its retail tenants. The ultimate extent 
of the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations and 
liquidity and capital resources will largely depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak, 
the  severity  of  economic  disruptions  and  resulting  impact  on  economic  growth/recession,  the  response  by  all  levels  of 
government in their efforts to contain the outbreak and to mitigate the economic disruptions, the impact on travel and tourism 
behavior  and  the  impact  on  consumer  confidence  and  spending,  all  of  which  are  highly  uncertain  and  cannot  be  reasonably 
predicted.

As of February 12, 2021, all of the Company's properties within its CRE portfolio remain open and substantially all of 
its existing tenants remain open and operating in some capacity. Further, as of this date, the CRE portfolio tenants have paid 
approximately 84% of their fourth quarter billings and 84% of their January 2021 lease billings (which includes base rents and 
recoveries from tenants). Within this population, the Company's grocer tenants (designated as essential businesses and located 
within its grocery-anchored neighborhood shopping centers), have paid approximately 93% of their fourth quarter billings and 
approximately 85% of their January 2021 lease billings.

As  a  result  of  COVID-19,  certain  tenants  experiencing  economic  difficulties  have  sought  and  may  continue  to  seek 
current and future rent relief, which may be provided in the form of rent deferrals or other relief modifications that result in 
changes to fixed contractual lease payments for specific months, among other possible arrangements. 

Starting  in  and  during  the  second  quarter  ended  June  30,  2020,  rent  assistance  provided  to  certain  tenants  primarily 
consisted of rent deferrals which varied in terms of months covered and the repayment period (e.g., on a short-term basis to be 
repaid over the second half of 2020 or on a long-term basis to be repaid over 2021). Subsequent to June 30, 2020 and during the 
remainder  of  the  year  ended  December  31,  2020,  rent  assistance  arrangements  involved  additional  deferrals  as  well  as  other 
relief modifications, including modifying the nature of rent payments from fixed to variable (i.e., variable based on a percentage 
of the tenant's sales, typically subject to a minimum "floor" amount) or, in some cases, payment forgiveness.

As of December 31, 2020, rent assistance arrangements offered and agreed to with tenants as a result of COVID-19 

were as follows (dollars in millions):

Additionally,  during  the  year  ended  December  31,  2020,  the  Company  estimated  a  higher  amount  of  uncollectable 
tenant  billings  due  to  COVID-19,  pursuant  to  which  the  reductions  in  revenue  the  Company  recorded  as  a  result  of  such 
assessments were as follows (in millions):

The Company’s financial results for the year ended December 31, 2020 were significantly impacted by the COVID-19 
pandemic resulting in reductions in operating profit and its non-GAAP performance measures. As such, the comparability of

the Company’s results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 to future periods may be significantly impacted by 
the effects of the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.

reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to GAAP measures, refer to page 41.
2 May differ from figure used in the consolidated statements of operations based on differing dilutive effects for net income (loss) versus 
FFO/Core FFO.

The causes of material changes in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 as 
compared  to  the  year  ended  December  31,  2019  are  described  below  or  in  the  Analysis  of  Operating  Revenue  and  Profit  by 
Segment sections below.

Operating  revenue  for  2020 decreased 29.8%,  or  $129.9  million,  to  $305.3  million  due  primarily  to  lower  revenue 

from the Land Operations segment and Materials & Construction segment.

Cost of operations for 2020 decreased 31.5%, or $107.4 million, to $233.5 million, due primarily to lower costs from 

the Land Operations segment and Materials & Construction segment.

Selling,  general  and  administrative  for  2020  decreased  21.7%,  or  $12.8  million,  to  $46.1  million  primarily  due  to 
lower corporate overhead costs, as well as lower costs incurred in the Materials & Construction and CRE segments. Corporate 
overhead costs decreased from the prior period primarily due to lower personnel-related costs.

Impairment  of  assets  for  2020  related  to  the  sale  and  disposal  of  GPRM  at  the  close  of  the  quarter  ended  June  30, 
2020.  During the third quarter of 2019, the Company recorded impairments of $49.7 million related to goodwill and long-lived 
assets for the quarry & paving operations in its Materials & Construction segment.

Gain (loss) on disposal of assets, net was $9.6 million in 2020, primarily driven by the consummation of the sale of 

assets related to the Company's solar power facility in Port Allen on Kauai as previously described.

GAAP measures, refer to page 41.

Commercial  Real  Estate  operating  revenue  decreased 6.6%  or  $10.6  million,  to  $150.0  million  for  the  year  ended 
December 31, 2020, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2019.  Operating profit decreased 24.8%, or $16.4 million, to 
$49.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease in each 
of  Commercial  Real  Estate  operating  revenue  and  operating  profit  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2020  reflects  revenue 
charges  of  $19.0  million  related  to  the  collectability  of  tenant  billings  that  the  Company  recorded  during  the  year  ended 
December 31, 2020 due primarily to COVID-19, as well as the impact of other relief modifications (e.g., rent forgiveness) and 
other adjustments provided in the period of $6.4 million (described above). Such decreases in revenue and operating profit were 
partially  offset  by  the  positive  impacts  to  revenue  and  operating  profit  of  properties  acquired  in  the  first  half  of  2019  and 
redevelopment/new  development  projects  commencing  operations  (which  was  also  the  primary  driver  of an  increase  in 
operating costs and expenses of 7.4% or $6.6 million to $95.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2020). Selling, general 
and administrative expenses decreased $2.6 million from the prior year primarily driven by lower personnel cost.

Commercial Real Estate interest and other income (expense), net from the prior year was primarily driven by interest 
income earned on §1031 exchange funds from the sale of agricultural land on Maui in 2018 (which were utilized as of the end 
of the quarter ended June 30, 2019).

Commercial Real Estate portfolio acquisitions and dispositions

There  were  no  acquisitions  of  CRE  improved  properties  or  ground  lease  interest  in  land  during  the  year  ended 

December 31, 2020. 

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company made the following disposition within one of its commercial 

real estate properties under a purchase option held and executed by the then-current tenant as follows (dollars in millions):

Leasing activity

In  the  year  ended  December  31,  2020,  the  Company  signed  68  new  leases  and  152  renewal  leases  for  its  improved 
properties across its three asset classes, covering 919,425 square feet of GLA. The 68 new leases consist of 141,675 square feet 
with an average annual base rent of $22.82 per-square-foot. Of the 68 new leases, 13 leases with a total GLA of 13,817 square 
feet  were  considered  comparable  (i.e.,  leases  executed  for  units  that  have  been  vacated  in  the  previous  12  months  for 
comparable  space  and  comparable  lease  terms)  and,  for  these  13  leases,  resulted  in  a  3.1%  average  base  rent  decrease  over 
comparable expiring leases. The 152 renewal leases consist of 777,750 square feet with an average annual base rent of $24.77
per square foot.  Of the 152 renewal leases, 89 leases with a total GLA of 575,539 were considered comparable and resulted in 
a 7.7% average base rent increase over comparable expiring leases.

Land Operations

Trends, events and uncertainties

The asset class mix of real estate sales in any given period can be diverse and may include developed residential real 
estate,  developable  subdivision  lots,  undeveloped  land  or  property  sold  under  threat  of  condemnation.  Further,  the  timing  of 
property or parcel sales can significantly affect operating results in a given period.

Additionally,  the  operating  profit  reported  in  each  period  does  not  necessarily  follow  a  percentage  of  sales  trend 
because the cost basis of property sold can differ significantly between transactions.  For example, the sale of undeveloped land 
and vacant parcels in Hawai‘i may result in higher margins than the sale of developed property due to the low historical cost 
basis of the Company's land owned in Hawai‘i.

38

As  a  result,  direct  year-over-year  comparison  of  the  Land  Operations  segment  results  may  not  provide  a  consistent, 
measurable indicator of future performance. Further, Land Operations revenue trends, cash flows from the sales of real estate, 
and  the  amount  of  real  estate  held  for  sale  on  the  Company's  consolidated  balance  sheet  do  not  necessarily  indicate  future 
profitability trends for this segment.

1 Other operating revenue includes revenue related to trucking, renewable energy and diversified agriculture.

2 Includes intersegment operating charges primarily from CRE that are eliminated in the consolidated results of operations.

2020: Land Operations revenue during the year ended December 31, 2020 was $40.6 million and included the sales of 
development  parcels  at  Maui  Business  Park  II  and  unimproved  land  sales  on  the  island  of  Kauai  and  Maui.  Revenue  also 
included  other  operating  revenue  related  to  the  Company's  legacy  business  activities  in  the  Land  Operations  segment  (e.g., 
trucking service, renewable energy, and diversified agribusiness operations).

Land Operations operating profit of $17.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2020 was primarily driven by 
the gain of $8.9 million realized on the sale of the Company's solar power facility in Port Allen during the third quarter and was 
also composed of the margins on the sales noted above, as well as profits generated from the operations of the segment's other 
legacy  business  activities.  Other  notable  items  within  operating  profit  during  the  year  ended  December  31,  2020  included  a 
charge of $6.7 million related to the estimated costs of probable remediation work for reservoirs on Kauai, as well as the impact 
of  a  favorable  resolution  of  certain  contingent  liabilities  during  the  year  ended  December  31,  2020  related  to  the  sale  of 
agricultural land on Maui in 2018. 

2019: Land Operations revenue of $114.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 was driven by development 
sales  activity  which  included  three  of  the  remaining  Kahala  Avenue  acres;  44  of  the  remaining  units  for  the  Company's 
Kamalani project in Kihei, Maui; nine acres at Maui Business Park (Phase II); unimproved/other property sales activity related 
to the sale of land and related property and rights in Wailea, Maui; and the sale of unimproved property of approximately 800 
acres of agricultural land on Maui.

1 Intersegment operating charges, net for Materials & Construction represent amounts primarily from the Commercial Real Estate segment and are 
eliminated in the consolidated results of operations.

2 Backlog represents the total amount of revenue that Grace Pacific and Maui Paving, LLC, a 50-percent-owned unconsolidated affiliate, expect to 
realize on contracts awarded. Backlog primarily consists of asphalt paving and, to a lesser extent, Grace Pacific’s consolidated revenue from its 
construction-and traffic control-related products. Backlog includes estimated revenue from the remaining portion of contracts not yet completed, as 
well as revenue from approved change orders. The length of time that projects remain in backlog can span from a few days for a small volume of 
work to 36 months for large paving contracts and contracts performed in phases. This amount includes opportunity backlog consisting of 
government contracts in which Grace Pacific has been confirmed to be the lowest bidder and formal communication of the award is perfunctory at 
the time of this disclosure (such amounts were $64.1 million and $7.8 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively). Circumstances 
outside the Company's control such as procurement or technical protests may arise that prevent the finalization of such contracts. Maui Paving's 
backlog as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $5.8 million and $4.4 million, respectively.

Materials  &  Construction  revenue  was  $114.7  million  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2020,  compared  to  $160.5 
million  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2019.  Operating  loss  was  $12.4  million  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2020, 
compared  to  $69.2  million  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2019.  During  the  year  ended  December  31,  2020,  the  segment 
operating loss was largely driven by a write-down of $5.6 million related to the sale of the Company's interest in GPRM which 
was completed during the quarter ended June 30, 2020. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the segment operating loss 
of  $69.2  million  was  primarily  driven  by  the  $49.7  million  non-cash  impairment  to  the  carrying  value  of  the  Company's 
goodwill balance.

The remaining operating loss during the year ended December 31, 2020 was due primarily to the impact of low paving 
volumes resulting from government agency-imposed project delays and the impact of COVID-19 (including travel restrictions 
and resource availability for projects on neighbor islands) during the second quarter as well as the fourth quarter; these losses 
were  only  partially  offset  by  the  operating  profit  generated  in  the  third  quarter  (primarily  driven  by  improved  volume  and 
resulting  financial  performance  from  Grace  paving  and  quarry  operations).  The  Company  is  continuing  to  monitor  the 
performance of the M&C segment in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, based on the inherent uncertainty in 
the general economic environment, there can be no assurance that the carrying values associated with the long-lived assets and 
goodwill will be recoverable and impairments on such long-lived assets and goodwill may be required.

Backlog  at  December  31,  2020  was  $126.7  million  (as  a  result  of  the  disposal  of  GPRM  at  the  end  of  the  second 
quarter ended June 30, 2020, this metric excludes backlog related to GPRM). On a comparable basis (i.e., adjusted to exclude 
GPRM backlog of $20.8 million as of December 31, 2019), backlog increased from $58.7 million as of December 31, 2019. 
The increase in backlog was primarily driven by an increase in the amount of marketed bid opportunities and an improvement 
in the rate of bids won by the Company.

Related  to  the  calculation  of  the  backlog  metric,  as  noted  in  prior  periods,  certain  agencies  award  "maintenance 
contracts" under which a contractor can secure all paving work within a certain geographic area, but jobs are not identified in 

40

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
advance  (and,  therefore,  will  not  meet  the  requirement  for  inclusion  in  backlog).  Under  this  maintenance  contract  system, 
during the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company also secured significant maintenance contract awards, including the 
Oahu  State  Pavement  Preservation  maintenance  contracts  for  the  entire  island  of  Oahu.  Procedurally,  the  Company  must 
receive  specific  work  orders  that  would  meet  the  definition  of  backlog  and  provide  actionable  scopes  of  work,  including 
quantities, location, materials and project economics.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company uses non-GAAP measures when evaluating operating performance because management believes that 
they provide additional insight into the Company's and segments' core operating results, and/or the underlying business trends 
affecting performance on a consistent and comparable basis from period to period. These measures generally are provided to 
investors  as  an  additional  means  of  evaluating  the  performance  of  ongoing  core  operations.  The  non-GAAP  financial 
information presented herein should be considered supplemental to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures 
calculated in accordance with GAAP.

FFO  is  presented  by  the  Company  as  a  widely  used  non-GAAP  measure  of  operating  performance  for  real  estate 
companies. FFO is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("Nareit") December 2018 Financial 
Standards  White  Paper  as  follows:  net  income  (calculated  in  accordance  with  GAAP),  excluding  (1)  depreciation  and 
amortization  related  to  real  estate,  (2)  gains  and  losses  from  the  sale  of  certain  real  estate  assets,  (3)  gains  and  losses  from 
change in control and (4) impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment 
is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity. 

The Company believes that, subject to the following limitations, FFO provides a supplemental measure to net income 
(calculated in accordance with GAAP) for comparing its performance and operations to those of other REITs. FFO does not 
represent an alternative to net income calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, FFO does not represent cash generated 
from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, nor does it represent cash available to pay distributions and should not be 
considered as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities, determined in accordance with GAAP, as a measure of the 
Company’s liquidity. The Company presents different forms of FFO: 

•

•

"Core FFO" represents a non-GAAP measure relevant to the operating performance of the Company's commercial real 
estate  business  (i.e.,  its  core  business).  Core  FFO  is  calculated  by  adjusting  CRE  operating  profit  to  exclude  items 
noted above (i.e., depreciation and amortization related to real estate included in CRE operating profit) and to make 
further  adjustments  to  include  expenses  not  included  in  CRE  operating  profit  but  that  are  necessary  to  accurately 
reflect the operating performance of its core business (i.e., corporate expenses and interest expense attributable to this 
core business). The Company believes such adjustments facilitate the comparable measurement of the Company's core 
operating performance over time. The Company believes that Core FFO, which is a supplemental non-GAAP financial 
measure, provides an additional and useful means to assess and compare the operating performance of REITs.

FFO represents the Nareit-defined non-GAAP measure for the operating performance of the Company as a whole. The 
Company's calculation refers to net income (loss) available to A&B common shareholders as its starting point in the 
calculation of FFO.

The Company presents both non-GAAP measures and reconciles each to the most directly-comparable GAAP measure 
as  well  as  reconciling  FFO  to  Core  FFO.  The  Company's  FFO  and  Core  FFO  may  not  be  comparable  to  FFO  non-GAAP 
measures reported by other REITs. These other REITs may not define the term in accordance with the current Nareit definition 
or may interpret the current Nareit definition differently.

NOI is a non-GAAP measure used internally in evaluating the unlevered performance of the Company's Commercial 
Real Estate portfolio. The Company believes NOI provides useful information to investors regarding the Company's financial 
condition  and  results  of  operations  because  it  reflects  only  the  contractual  income  and  cash-based  expense  items  that  are 
incurred  at  the  property  level.  When  compared  across  periods,  NOI  can  be  used  to  determine  trends  in  earnings  of  the 
Company's properties as this measure is not affected by non-contractual revenue (e.g., straight-line lease adjustments required 
under  GAAP);  by  non-cash  expense  recognition  items  (e.g.,  the  impact  of  depreciation  and  amortization  expense  or 
impairments); or by other expenses or gains or losses that do not directly relate to the Company's ownership and operations of 
the  properties  (e.g.,  indirect  selling,  general,  administrative  and  other  expenses,  as  well  as  lease  termination  income).  The 
Company believes the exclusion of these items from operating profit (loss) is useful because the resulting measure captures the 
contractually-based revenue that is realizable (i.e., assuming collectability is deemed probable) and the direct property-related 
expenses  paid  or  payable  in  cash  that  are  incurred  in  operating  the  Company's  Commercial  Real  Estate  portfolio,  as  well  as 
trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs. NOI should not be viewed as a substitute for, or superior to, financial 
measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

41

NOI represents total Commercial Real Estate contractually-based operating revenue that is realizable (i.e., assuming 
collectability is deemed probable) less the direct property-related operating expenses paid or payable in cash. The calculation of 
NOI  excludes  the  impact  of  depreciation  and  amortization  (e.g.,  depreciation  related  to  capitalized  costs  for  improved 
properties, other capital expenditures for building/area improvements and tenant space improvements, as well as amortization of 
leasing  commissions);  straight-line  lease  adjustments  (including  amortization  of  lease  incentives);  amortization  of  favorable/
unfavorable  lease  assets/liabilities;  lease  termination  income;  interest  and  other  income  (expense),  net;  selling,  general, 
administrative and other expenses (not directly associated with the property); and impairment of commercial real estate assets.

The Company reports NOI and Occupancy on a Same-Store basis, which includes the results of properties that were 
owned and operated for the entirety of the prior calendar year and current reporting period, year-to-date. The Same-Store pool 
excludes  properties  under  development  or  redevelopment  and  also  excludes  properties  acquired  or  sold  during  either  of  the 
comparable  reporting  periods.  While  there  is  management  judgment  involved  in  classifications,  new  developments  and 
redevelopments are moved into the Same-Store pool after one full calendar year of stabilized operation. Properties included in 
held for sale are excluded from Same-Store.

The Company believes that reporting on a Same-Store basis provides investors with additional information regarding 
the  operating  performance  of  comparable  assets  separate  from  other  factors  (such  as  the  effect  of  developments, 
redevelopments, acquisitions or dispositions).

To emphasize, the Company's methods of calculating non-GAAP measures may differ from methods employed by 

other companies and thus may not be comparable to such other companies.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

The Company's principal sources of liquidity to meet its business requirements and plans both in the short-term (i.e., 
the next twelve months from December 31, 2020) and long-term (i.e., beyond the next twelve months) have generally been cash 
provided by operating activities; available cash and cash equivalents; and borrowing capacity under its various credit facilities. 
The  Company's  primary  liquidity  needs  for  its  business  requirements  and  plans  have  generally  been  supporting  its  known 
contractual  obligations  and  also  funding  capital  expenditures  (including  recent  commercial  real  estate  acquisitions  and  real 
estate developments); shareholder distributions; and working capital needs.

As  noted  above,  the  COVID-19  pandemic  has  adversely  impacted  global  commercial  activity;  has  contributed  to 
significant volatility in financial markets; and both its near-term and long-term economic impacts remain uncertain. As a result, 
during the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company proactively drew $120 million on its credit facility at the end of the 
first  quarter  ended  March  31,  2020  to  ensure  it  had  ample  access  to  capital  and  to  increase  flexibility;  subsequently,  the 
Company paid down such amounts throughout the year, in part, with proceeds from asset monetization efforts on transactions 
closed during the year. Additionally, the Company announced in the second quarter ended June 30, 2020 that it had temporarily 
suspended quarterly dividend distributions as it monitored its financial performance and economic outlook each quarter. Prior 
to December 31, 2020, the Company declared a dividend of $0.15 per share (to ensure it would maintain compliance with REIT 
taxable income distribution requirements for the full year).

Known contractual obligations

A description of material contractual commitments as of December 31, 2020 is included in Note 10, Note 15 and Note 
17 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Part II, Item 8 of this report, and relates to the Company's Notes 
payable and other debt, Operating lease liabilities and Accrued pension and post-retirement benefits, respectively, and is herein 
incorporated by reference. 

In addition, contractual interest payments for Notes payable and other debt in the short term (i.e., over the next twelve 
months  from  December  31,  2020)  and  long-term  (i.e.,  beyond  the  next  twelve  months)  is  estimated  to  be  $26.8  million  and 
$89.8 million, respectively (includes amounts based on contractual/fixed swap interest rates applied to future principal balances 
based on repayment schedules for secured and unsecured debt and also estimated interest on revolving credit facilities based on 
outstanding balances and the rate in effect as of December 31, 2020). 

Total  amounts  to  be  spent  on  contractual  non-cancellable  purchase  obligations  (that  specifies  all  significant  terms, 
including fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased, pricing structure and approximate timing of the transaction that are not 
recorded as liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet) over the next twelve months from December 31, 2020 is $31.1 million; 
such  amounts  beyond  the  next  twelve  months  are  not  material.  The  largest  of  such  amounts  pertain  to  the  Company's  CRE 
redevelopment  project  related  to  Aikahi  Park  Shopping  Center  (with  a  target  in-service  date  at  the  end  of  2021)  totaling 
approximately $10.4 million to be spent over the next twelve months.

A  description  of  other  commitments,  contingencies  and  off-balance  sheet  arrangements  as  of  December  31,  2020  is 
included  in  Note  12  of  Notes  to  Consolidated  Financial  Statements,  included  in  Part  II,  Item  8  of  this  report,  and  is  herein 
incorporated by reference.

Sources of liquidity

As  noted  above,  one  of  the  Company's  principal  sources  of  liquidity  has  been  cash  flows  provided  by  operations, 
which were $63.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, primarily driven in the current year by cash generated from 
the  CRE  segment  (the  Company's  core  business).  Total  cash  flows  provided  by  operations  decreased  from  the  prior  year 
($157.6  million  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2019),  primarily  driven  by  lower  operating  cash  flows  from  the  Land 
Operations segment due to the Company successfully completing sales on the remaining inventory for (and closing out of) two 
development-for-sale projects in 2019 (resulting in a lower volume in the current period of comparable development-for-sale 
project proceeds) as part of the Company's continued execution on its simplification strategy.

The  Company's  operating  income  (loss)  and  cash  flows  provided  by  operating  activities  is  generated  by  its 
subsidiaries. There are no material restrictions on the ability of the Company's wholly owned subsidiaries to pay dividends or 
make other distributions to the Company.

The  Company's  other  primary  sources  of  liquidity  include  its  cash  and  cash  equivalents  of  $57.2  million  as  of 
December 31, 2020, and the Company's revolving credit and term facilities, which provide liquidity and flexibility on a short-
term (i.e., the next twelve months from December 31, 2020), as well as long-term basis. With respect to the revolving credit 
facility for general A&B purposes, as of December 31, 2020, the Company had $111.0 million of borrowings outstanding, $1.1 
million letters of credit issued against and $337.9 million of available capacity on such revolving credit facility (which currently 
has  a  term  through  September  15,  2022).  Further,  other  sources  of  liquidity  for  the  Company  include  trade  receivables, 
contracts retention, and inventories (excluding parts, materials and supplies), totaling $60.9 million at December 31, 2020. 

Other uses (or sources) of liquidity

The Company may use (or, in some periods, generate) cash through various investing activities or financing activities. 
Cash provided by investing activities was $12.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, as compared to cash used in 
investing activities of $240.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The year ended December 31, 2020 included cash 
proceeds  from  the  disposal  of  assets  of  $27.1  million  (which  was  primarily  driven  by  the  consummation  of  non-core  asset 
disposals related to the Company's solar power facility in Port Allen on Kauai and also its former GPRM subsidiary described 
above). 

Cash used in investing activities is primarily composed of capital expenditures. In the year ended December 31, 2020
the  Company  had  capital  expenditures  for  property,  plant  and  equipment  of  $25.1  million.  As  it  relates  to  the  CRE  segment 
(i.e.,  its  core  business),  the  Company  differentiates  capital  expenditures  as  follows  (based  on  management's  perspective  on 
discretionary versus non-discretionary areas of spending for its CRE business):

•

Growth  Capital  Expenditures:  Property  acquisition,  development  and  redevelopment  activity  to  generate 
income and cash flow growth.

• Maintenance Capital Expenditures: Activity necessary to maintain building value, the current income stream 

and position in the market.  

Capital expenditures for the respective periods for all segments were as follows:

The year ended December 31, 2019 included cash outlays of $255.1 million related to capital expenditures which was 
largely driven by $218.4 million related to the Company's acquisition of five commercial real estate assets using proceeds from 
the sale of legacy landholdings that qualified for tax-deferral treatment under §1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as 
amended (the "Code"). There were no such acquisitions of commercial real estate assets in the current year ended December 31, 
2020. See below for further discussion on the Company's use of §1031 of the Code.

The Company regularly evaluates investment opportunities, including development-for-hold projects, commercial real 
estate  acquisitions,  joint  venture  investments,  share  repurchases,  business  acquisitions  and  other  strategic  transactions  to 
increase shareholder value. The Company cannot predict whether or when it may make investments or what impact any such 
transactions could have on the Company's results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. Given the uncertainty around 
the duration and economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company is not able to project capital expenditures in 2021 
related  to  any  of  its  segments.  However,  the  Company  anticipates  activity  related  to  property  acquisitions,  development  and 
redevelopment  will  be  relatively  consistent  with  the  current  year,  and  the  Company  expects  building/area  improvements  and 
tenant space improvements to be consistent with or lower than current year expenditures.

Net cash flows used in financing activities was $33.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, as compared to 
net cash used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2019 of $136.7 million. The change in cash flows from 
financing activities in 2020 as compared to 2019 was due primarily to lower net payments on debt (i.e., debt payments net of 
additional  borrowings)  of  $18.7  million  in  year  ended  December  31,  2020  as  compared  to  $78.3  million  in  the  year  ended 
December 31, 2019, as well as lower cash dividends paid of $13.8 million in year ended December 31, 2020 as compared to 
$50.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2019.

Other capital resource matters

The Company frequently utilizes §1031 or §1033 of the Code, to obtain tax-deferral treatment when qualifying real 
estate  assets  are  sold  or  become  subject  to  involuntary  conversion  and  the  resulting  proceeds  are  reinvested  in  replacement 
properties  within  the  required  time  period.  Proceeds  from  potential  tax-deferred  sales  under  §1031  of  the  Code  are  held  in 
escrow (and presented as part of Restricted cash on the consolidated balance sheets) pending future reinvestment or are returned 
to the Company for general use if eligibility for tax-deferral treatment based on the required time period lapses. The proceeds 
from involuntary conversions under §1033 of the Code are held by the Company until the funds are redeployed. 

During  the  year  ended  December  31,  2020,  the  Company  did  not  complete  any  transactions  that  would  give  rise  to 
cash proceeds from sales or involuntary conversion activity that qualified under §1031 or §1033 of the Code. Further, during 
the year ended December 31, 2020, there were no acquisitions utilizing eligible/available proceeds from tax-deferred sales or 
involuntary conversions. 

As of December 31, 2020, there are no amounts from tax-deferred sales that are available for use and have not been 
reinvested  under  §1031  of  the  Code.  As  of  December  31,  2020,  the  Company  holds  approximately  $14.3  million  from  tax-
deferred involuntary conversions that had not yet been reinvested under §1033 of the Code.

Trends, events and uncertainties 

As noted above, the COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted the global economy; has contributed to significant 
volatility  in  financial  markets;  and  both  its  near-term  and  long-term  economic  impacts  remain  uncertain.  This  uncertainty 
includes the potential need for additional capital resources to maintain the Company's business and operations during a period 
of potential declining or delayed rent payments from CRE tenants and/or potential declining revenue from its other businesses. 

The Company's ability to retain outstanding borrowings and utilize remaining amounts available under its revolving 

credit facility will depend on its continued compliance with the applicable financial covenants and other terms of the 
Company's notes payable and other debt arrangements. The Company was in compliance with its financial covenants for all 
outstanding balances as of December 31, 2020. However, as a result of the various uncertainties and factors surrounding 
COVID-19, the Company may be unable to continue to maintain compliance with certain of its financial covenants. Failure to 
maintain compliance with its financial covenants or obtain waivers or agree to modifications with its lenders would have a 
material adverse impact on the Company's financial condition. The Company intends to closely monitor the impact of 
COVID-19 on its business and intends to operate in compliance with these covenants or seek to obtain waivers or modifications 
to these financial covenants to enable the Company to maintain compliance.

45

Based on its current outlook, the Company believes that funds generated from cash provided by operating activities; 
available cash and cash equivalent balances; and borrowing capacity under its various credit facilities will be sufficient to meet 
the  needs  of  the  Company's  business  requirements  and  plans  both  in  the  short-term  (i.e.,  the  next  twelve  months  from 
December  31,  2020)  and  long-term  (i.e.,  beyond  the  next  twelve  months).  There  can  be  no  assurance,  however,  that  the 
Company will continue to generate cash flows at or above current levels or that it will be able to maintain its ability to borrow 
under its available credit facilities. As the circumstances underlying its current outlook may change, the Company will continue 
to actively monitor the situation and may take further actions that it determines is in the best interest of its business, financial 
condition and liquidity and capital resources.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, 
included  in  Part  II,  Item  8  of  this  report.  The  preparation  of  financial  statements  in  conformity  with  accounting  principles 
generally accepted in the United States, upon which the MD&A is based, requires that management exercise judgment when 
making  estimates  and  assumptions  about  future  events  that  may  affect  the  amounts  reported  in  the  financial  statements  and 
accompanying  notes.  Future  events  and  their  effects  cannot  be  determined  with  certainty  and  actual  results  may  differ  from 
those critical accounting estimates. These differences could be material.

Management considers an accounting estimate to be critical if: (i)(a) the accounting estimate requires the Company to 
make assumptions about matters that were highly uncertain at the time that the accounting estimate was made, (b) changes in 
the estimate are reasonably likely to occur in periods subsequent to the period in which the estimate was made, or (c) different 
estimates by the Company could have been used, and (ii) changes in those assumptions or estimates would have had a material 
impact  on  the  financial  condition  or  results  of  operations  of  the  Company.  The  critical  accounting  estimates  inherent  in  the 
preparation of the Company’s financial statements are described below.

Impairment of long-lived assets held and used and finite-lived intangible assets

Long-lived assets held and used, including finite-lived intangible assets, are reviewed for possible impairment when 
events  or  circumstances  indicate  that  the  carrying  value  may  not  be  recoverable.  In  such  an  evaluation,  the  estimated  future 
undiscounted cash flows generated by the asset are compared with the amount recorded for the asset to determine if its carrying 
value is not recoverable. If this review determines that the recorded value will not be recovered, the amount recorded for the 
asset  is  reduced  to  estimated  fair  value.  These  asset  impairment  analyses  are  highly  subjective  because  they  require 
management  to  make  assumptions  and  apply  considerable  judgments  to,  among  other  things,  estimates  of  the  timing  and 
amount of future cash flows, expected useful lives of the assets, uncertainty about future events, including changes in economic 
conditions,  changes  in  operating  performance,  changes  in  the  use  of  the  assets  and  ongoing  costs  of  maintenance  and 
improvements of the assets, and thus, the accounting estimates may change from period to period. If management uses different 
assumptions or if different conditions occur in future periods, the Company’s financial condition or its future financial results 
could be materially impacted. 

During  the  year  ended  December  31,  2018,  the  Company  recorded  cumulative  long-lived  asset  and  finite-lived 

intangible asset impairment charges of $40.6 million related to its Materials and Construction segment.

In the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2020, the Company did not recognize any impairments of 

long-lived assets or finite-lived intangible assets for assets held and used.

46

Impairment of investments in unconsolidated affiliates

The Company's investments in unconsolidated affiliates that are accounted for under the equity method are reviewed 
for impairment whenever there is evidence that fair value may be below carrying cost. An investment is written down to fair 
value if fair value is below carrying cost and the impairment is believed to be other-than-temporary. In evaluating the fair value 
of  an  investment  and  whether  any  identified  impairment  is  other-than-temporary,  significant  estimates  and  considerable 
judgments are involved. These estimates and judgments are based, in part, on the Company’s current and future evaluation of 
economic  conditions  in  general,  as  well  as  a  joint  venture’s  current  and  future  plans.  Additionally,  these  impairment 
calculations  are  highly  subjective  because  they  require  management  to  make  assumptions  and  apply  judgments  to  estimates 
regarding  the timing and amount of future cash flows that may  consider various factors, including sales prices, development 
costs, market conditions and absorption rates, probabilities related to various cash flow scenarios, and appropriate discount rates 
based  on  the  perceived  risks,  among  others.  In  evaluating  whether  an  impairment  is  other-than-temporary,  the  Company 
considers all available information, including but not limited to the financial condition and near-term prospects of the affiliate, 
the Company’s ability and intent to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in 
market value, and projected industry and economic trends, among others. Changes in these and other assumptions could affect 
the  projected  operational  results  and  fair  value  of  the  unconsolidated  affiliates,  and  accordingly,  may  require  valuation 
adjustments to the Company’s investments that may materially impact the Company’s financial condition or its future operating 
results.

Economic  conditions  in  particular  real  estate  markets,  difficulty  in  obtaining  or  renewing  project-level  financing  or 
development  approvals,  and  changes  in  the  Company’s  development  strategy,  among  other  factors,  may  affect  the  value  or 
feasibility  of  certain  development  projects  owned  by  the  Company  or  by  its  joint  ventures  and  could  lead  to  additional 
impairment charges in the future.

During  the  fourth  quarter  of  2018,  the  Company  determined  that  its  investment  in  Kukui‘ula  was  other-than-
temporarily  impaired  due  to  the  Company  changing  its  strategy  and  no  longer  intending  to  hold  its  investment  through  the 
duration of the project.  As a result, the Company estimated the fair value of its investment in Kukui‘ula using a discounted 
cash flow model and recorded a non-cash, other-than-temporary impairment of $186.8 million.

In the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2020, the Company did not recognize any impairments of its 

investments in affiliates.

Goodwill

The Company reviews goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level annually or between annual tests if an event 
occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying 
amount. If the results of the Company's test indicates that a reporting unit's estimated fair value is less than its carrying value, an 
impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value, not to 
exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.

The goodwill impairment test may involve estimation of the fair value of a reporting unit using various methodologies, 
including  an  income  approach  that  is  based  on  a  discounted  cash  flow  analysis  and  a  market  approach  that  involves  the 
application  of  market-derived  multiples.  When  required,  valuations  may  be  performed  in  conjunction  with  the  Company's 
goodwill impairment tests for each reporting unit which assumes that each is an unrelated business to be sold separately and 
independently from the other reporting units.

The  discounted  cash  flow  approach  relies  on  a  number  of  assumptions,  including  future  macroeconomic  conditions, 
market  factors  specific  to  the  reporting  unit,  the  amount  and  timing  of  estimated  future  cash  flows  to  be  generated  by  the 
business over an extended period of time and a discount rate that considers the risks related to the amount and timing of the 
cash flows, among others. Under the market multiple methodology, the estimate of fair value is based on market multiples of 
EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) or revenues. When using market multiples of EBITDA 
or revenues, the Company must make judgments about the comparability of those multiples in closed and proposed transactions 
and comparability of multiples for similar companies.

The  Company's  historical  goodwill  was  attributable  to  (1)  the  three  reporting  units  in  the  M&C  segment  -  GPC 
(primarily consisting of the Grace Pacific's quarry, paving, and liquid asphalt operations), GPRS (primarily consisting of Grace 
Pacific's  roadway  and  maintenance  solutions  operations)  and  GPRM  (primarily  consisting  of  Grace  Pacific's  prestressed  and 
precast concrete operations until its disposal during the second quarter of 2020) - recognized in the acquisition of Grace Pacific 
in 2013 and (2) the CRE reporting unit, which is also the reportable segment.

47

During  the  year  ended  December  31,  2018,  based  on  the  results  of  the  valuation  performed  in  conjunction  with  the 
Company's annual goodwill impairment test in 2018, the carrying amounts of the GPC and GPRS reporting units exceeded their 
estimated fair values and goodwill was determined to be impaired.  The decline in fair value was due primarily to persisting, 
competitive  market  pressures  that  negatively  affected  sales  and  margins.  As  a  result,  the  Company  recorded  a  non-cash 
impairment charge of $37.2 million during the fourth quarter of 2018. The weighted-average discount rate used in the valuation 
was 13.6%. The GPRM reporting unit goodwill was not deemed to be impaired as GPRM's carrying amount exceeded its fair 
value by approximately 33 percent.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2019, the Company was required to perform an interim impairment test for 
the goodwill in each of its three M&C reporting units due to the continued decline in M&C sales and margins in 2019, which 
resulted from continued, adverse market conditions. Based on the results of the valuation performed in conjunction with this 
test, the carrying amounts of the three M&C reporting units exceeded their estimated fair values and goodwill was determined 
to be impaired. As a result, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $49.7 million during the third quarter of 
2019. The weighted-average discount rate used in the discounted cash flow approach of the valuation was 12.7%. 

Other than those noted above, the Company did not record any additional impairments to the goodwill in its reporting 
units  for  the  remainder  of  the  year  ended  December  31,  2019  or  in  the  year  ended  December  31,  2020.  Subsequent  to  such 
impairments and the derecognition of the goodwill associated with the GPRM reporting unit as part of the disposal of GPRM 
noted above, as of December 31, 2020, the Company did not have any material goodwill at any of its reporting units that were 
at risk (see Note 8 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Part II, Item 8 of this report).

New Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Part II, Item 8 of this report, for a full 

description of the impact of recently issued accounting standards, which is incorporated herein by reference, including the 
expected dates of adoption and estimated effects on the Company's results of operations and financial condition.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company is exposed to changes in interest rates, primarily as a result of its borrowing activities used to maintain 
liquidity and to fund business operations. In order to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates, the Company utilizes a 
balanced mix of debt maturities, along with both fixed-rate and variable-rate debt. The Company further manages its exposure 
to interest rate risk through interest rate swaps on its variable-rate debt. The nature and amount of the Company’s fixed-rate and 
variable-rate debt can be expected to fluctuate as a result of future business requirements, market conditions and other factors.

As  of  December  31,  2020,  the  Company’s  fixed-rate  debt  (after  the  effects  of  interest  rate  swaps),  excluding  debt 
premium  or  discount  and  debt  issuance  costs,  consists  of  $576.3  million  in  principal  term  notes  and  other  instruments.  The 
Company’s variable-rate debt consists of $111.0 million under its revolving credit facilities. Other than in default, the Company 
does not have an obligation, nor the option in some cases, to prepay its fixed-rate debt prior to maturity and, as a result, interest 
rate  fluctuations  and  the  resulting  changes  in  fair  value  would  not  have  an  impact  on  the  Company’s  financial  condition  or 
results of operations unless the Company was required to refinance such debt.

The following table summarizes the Company's estimated exposure to interest rate risk over each of the next five years 
and thereafter based on the expected remaining principal obligation as of the beginning of each period and the related interest 
rates based on the Company's debt obligations as of December 31, 2020 (dollars in millions):

1 Estimated variable-rate principal is based on the amounts outstanding and the contractual maturity date of the revolving credit facility as of December 31, 
2020. Actual principal outstanding may be greater or less than the amounts indicated.
2 Estimated interest rates on variable-rate debt are determined based on the rate in effect on December 31, 2020. Actual interest rates may be greater or less 
than the amounts indicated.
3  Certain  of  the  Company's  interest  rate  derivatives  are  designated  as  cash  flow  hedges  with  changes  in  the  fair  value  of  the  asset  or  liability  recorded  to 
accumulated  other  comprehensive  income.  Refer  to  Notes  to  Consolidated  Financial  Statements,  included  in  Part  II,  Item  8  of  this  report,  for  further 
discussion.

As of December 31, 2019, the Company had $555.9 million of fixed-rate debt and $148.7 million of variable-rate debt 
outstanding with weighted average interest rates of 4.43% and 3.58%, respectively, and the aggregate fair value of its interest 
rate derivatives for variable to fixed interest rate swaps was a liability of $0.7 million.

Also,  from  time  to  time,  the  Company  may  invest  its  excess  cash  in  short-term  money  market  funds  that  purchase 
government  securities  or  corporate  debt  securities.  At  December  31,  2020  and  December  31,  2019,  the  amount  invested  in 
money market funds was immaterial.

As noted above, the COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted the global economy; has contributed to significant 
volatility  in  financial  markets;  and  both  its  near-term  and  long-term  economic  impacts  remain  uncertain.  With  respect  to  its 
exposure to changes in interest rates, the Company will continue to actively monitor the economic situation and its impact on 
interest  rates  and  may  take  further  actions  that  it  determines  is  in  the  best  interest  of  its  business,  financial  condition  and 
liquidity and capital resources.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of Alexander & Baldwin, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements 

We  have  audited  the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheets  of  Alexander  &  Baldwin,  Inc.  and  subsidiaries  (the 
"Company")  as  of  December  31,  2020  and  2019,  the  related  consolidated  statements  of  operations,  comprehensive  income 
(loss),  equity,  and  cash  flows,  for  each  of  the  three  years  in  the  period  ended  December  31,  2020,  and  the  related  notes 
(collectively  referred  to  as  the  “financial  statements”).  In  our  opinion,  the  financial  statements  present  fairly,  in  all  material 
respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash 
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally 
accepted in the United States of America.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) 
(PCAOB),  the  Company's  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  as  of  December  31,  2020,  based  on  criteria  established  in 
Internal  Control  —  Integrated  Framework  (2013)  issued  by  the  Committee  of  Sponsoring  Organizations  of  the  Treadway 
Commission and our report dated February 26, 2021, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over 
financial reporting.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on 
the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are 
required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable 
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the 
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to 
error  or  fraud.  Our  audits  included  performing  procedures  to  assess  the  risks  of  material  misstatement  of  the  financial 
statements,  whether  due  to  error  or  fraud,  and  performing  procedures  that  respond  to  those  risks.  Such  procedures  included 
examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included 
evaluating  the  accounting  principles  used  and  significant  estimates  made  by  management,  as  well  as  evaluating  the  overall 
presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. 

Critical Audit Matter 

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that 
was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that 
are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The 
communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and 
we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the 
accounts or disclosures to which it relates. 

Investment in Affiliates — Determination of Impairment Indicators — Refer to Note 5 to the financial statements 

Critical Audit Matter Description

The Company evaluates its equity method joint venture investment in Kukui`ula Development Company, Hawaii (KDCH) for 
potential factors that could indicate there is a possible decline in the value of the investment.  This involves significant 
judgment in assessing factors that are highly subjective as they require management to make assumptions and apply judgments 
to estimates regarding the timing and amount of future cash flows that may consider various factors, including sale prices, 
development costs, market conditions, absorption rates, and market discount rates indicating a change in value, among others. 
This evaluation also involves assessing the joint venture’s current operating performance and sales forecast and any changes in 
the Company’s continued intent and/or ability to hold the investment. If these factors indicate a potential decline in the value of 
the investment, then the Company will determine if any difference by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the 
investment is other-than-temporary.

51

We identified the evaluation of potential indicators of decline in value of the Company’s investment in affiliates as a critical 
audit matter because of the significant judgments management makes when determining whether events or changes in 
circumstances have occurred indicating that the carrying amounts of investments may have declined. This required a high 
degree of auditor judgment when performing audit procedures to evaluate whether management appropriately identified 
impairment indicators.

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

Our audit procedures related to the evaluation of investments in affiliates for possible indicators of impairment included the 
following, among others: 

• We tested the effectiveness of the controls over management’s identification of possible circumstances that may 

indicate that the carrying amount of its joint venture investment has declined, including controls over management’s 
assessment of the operating performance of the joint venture and consideration of local and macro-economic 
conditions that may negatively impact the fair value of its joint venture investments.

• We evaluated management’s assessment of potential indicators of a decline in fair value by:

– Discussing with management the operating performance and outlook of the joint venture investment.
– Reviewing the actual financial information and the current year operating performance of the joint venture by 

performing audit procedures on actual sales and operating expenses of the joint venture.

– Reviewing the cash flow, sales and operating forecasts of the joint venture for any overall indicators of 
decline from prior forecasts and retrospective analysis of forecasts to actual results. Analyzing how sale 
prices, development costs, market conditions and absorption rates, have been factored into the forecasts.

– Assessing local and macro-economic factors such as the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and 

capitalization rates.
Evaluating management’s assertion around its current intent and ability to hold the investment.

Background and Basis of Presentation

Description  of  Business:  Alexander  &  Baldwin,  Inc.  ("A&B"  or  the  "Company")  is  a  real  estate  investment  trust 
("REIT")  headquartered  in  Honolulu,  Hawai‘i.  The  Company  operates  in  three  segments:  Commercial  Real  Estate;  Land 
Operations; and Materials & Construction. A description of each of the Company's reporting segments is as follows:

•

•

Commercial  Real  Estate  ("CRE")  -  This  segment  functions  as  a  vertically  integrated  real  estate  investment 
company  with  core  competencies  in  investments  and  acquisitions  (i.e.,  identifying  opportunities  and  acquiring 
properties);  construction  and  development  (i.e.,  designing  and  ground-up  development  of  new  properties  or 
repositioning  and  redevelopment  of  existing  properties);  and  in-house  leasing  and  property  management  (i.e., 
executing new and renegotiating renewal lease arrangements, managing its properties' day-to-day operations and 
maintaining positive tenant relationships). The Company's preferred asset classes include improved properties in 
retail and industrial spaces and also urban ground leases. Its focus within improved retail properties, in particular, 
is on grocery-anchored neighborhood shopping centers that meet the daily needs of Hawai‘i citizens. Through its 
core  competencies  and  with  its  experience  and  relationships  in  Hawai‘i,  the  Company  seeks  to  create  special 
places that enhance the lives of Hawai‘i residents and to provide venues and opportunities that enable its tenants to 
thrive. Income from this segment is principally generated by owning, operating and leasing real estate assets.

Land  Operations  -  This  segment  includes  the  Company's  legacy  assets  and  landholdings  that  are  subject  to  the 
Company's  simplification  and  monetization  effort.  Financial  results  from  this  segment  are  principally  derived 
from real estate development and land sales, income/loss from real estate joint ventures, hydroelectric energy and 
other legacy business activities. 

• Materials & Construction ("M&C") - This segment operates as Hawai‘i's largest asphalt paving contractor and is 
one of the state's largest natural materials and infrastructure construction companies. Such activities are primarily 
conducted  through  its  wholly-owned  subsidiary,  Grace  Pacific  LLC  ("Grace  Pacific"),  a  materials  and 
construction company in Hawai‘i.

Grace  Pacific  owns  hot-mix  asphalt  plants  throughout  the  state  that  support  its  internal  paving  operations  and 
third-party  customers.  Grace  Pacific  also  owns  and  operates  a  rock  quarry  and  processing  plant  in  Makakilo, 
Hawai‘i. In addition, Grace Pacific offers a variety of related for-sale and for-rent services including temporary 
and permanent roadway traffic control (GP Roadway Solutions, Inc. or "GPRS")  and other related products and 
services.  Grace  Pacific  also  holds  a  50%  interest  in  an  unconsolidated  affiliate,  Maui  Paving,  LLC  ("Maui 
Paving"), which operates primarily on the island of Maui. 

Additional  activity  in  the  M&C  segment  includes  its  share  of  the  results  of  operations  of  an  unconsolidated 
investment, Pohaku Pa‘a LLC ("Pohaku"). Pohaku, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, operates rock quarries 
on the islands of Oahu and Maui and sells a wide range of products that include ready-mix concrete, rock and sand 
aggregates and cultured stone and related products.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company owns a portfolio of commercial real estate improved properties in Hawai‘i 
consisting of 22 retail centers, ten industrial assets and four office properties, representing a total of 3.9 million square feet of 
gross leasable area; it also owns a portfolio of ground leases in Hawai‘i representing 153.8 acres as of December 31, 2020.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation: The Company presents its financial statements in accordance 
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") as outlined in the Financial Accounting Standard 
Board  ("FASB")  Accounting  Standards  Codification  (the  "Codification"  or  "ASC").  The  Codification  is  the  single  source  of 
authoritative accounting principles applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity 
with GAAP.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company (including all wholly-owned subsidiaries), 
as well as all other entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. Intercompany transactions and balances 
have  been  eliminated  in  consolidation.  Significant  investments  in  businesses,  partnerships  and  limited  liability  companies  in 
which  the  Company  does  not  have  a  controlling  financial  interest,  but  the  Company  has  the  ability  to  exercise  significant 
influence, are accounted for using the equity method. 

A  controlling  financial  interest  in  an  entity  may  be  established  (i)  through  the  Company  holding  a  majority  voting 
interest  or  (ii)  if  the  Company  is  the  primary  beneficiary  of  an  entity  that  qualifies  as  a  variable  interest  entity  ("VIE"),  as 

59

defined  in  the  Codification.  The  Company  evaluates  all  partnerships,  joint  ventures  and  other  arrangements  with  variable 
interests to determine if the entity or arrangement qualifies as a VIE. VIEs are entities where investors lack sufficient equity at 
risk  for  the  entity  to  finance  its  activities  without  additional  subordinated  financial  support  or  where  equity  investors,  as  a 
group, lack one of the following characteristics: (a) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s 
economic  performance,  (b)  the  obligation  to  absorb  the  expected  losses  of  the  entity,  or  (c)  the  right  to  receive  the  expected 
returns  of  the  entity.  If  the  entity  or  arrangement  qualifies  as  a  VIE  and  the  Company  is  determined  to  be  the  primary 
beneficiary, the Company is required to consolidate the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of the VIE. The Company 
reevaluates whether an entity is a VIE as needed (i.e., when assessing reconsideration events that result in changes in the factors 
mentioned  above)  as  part  of  determining  if  the  consolidation  or  equity  method  treatment  remains  appropriate.  As  of 
December 31, 2020, the Company had an interest in various unconsolidated joint ventures that the Company accounts for using 
the equity method. Other than the obligations described in Note 12, obligations of the Company's joint ventures do not have 
recourse to the Company and the Company's maximum exposure is limited to its investment.

The consolidated financial statements include the historical results of GP/RM Prestress, LLC ("GPRM"), a supplier of 
structural precast/prestressed concrete products, which was owned 51% by the Company, through the date of its disposal during 
the  year  ended  December  31,  2020  (refer  to  Note  24).  The  consolidated  financial  statements  also  include  the  results  of  GLP 
Asphalt,  LLC  ("GLP  Asphalt"),  an  importer  and  distributor  of  liquid  asphalt,  which  is  owned  70%  by  the  Company.  These 
entities were consolidated because the Company held a controlling financial interest through its majority voting interest in the 
entities. The remaining interest in these entities is reported as Noncontrolling interest and Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest 
in  the  consolidated  financial  statements.  Profits,  losses  and  cash  distributions  are  allocated  in  accordance  with  the  respective 
operating agreements.

Use  of  Estimates:  The  preparation  of  the  consolidated  financial  statements  in  conformity  with  GAAP  requires 
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. Estimates and assumptions are used for, but 
not  limited  to:  (i)  asset  impairments,  including  intangible  assets  and  goodwill,  (ii)  litigation  and  contingencies,  (iii)  revenue 
recognition for long-term real estate developments and construction contracts, (iv) pension and postretirement estimates, and (v) 
income taxes. Future results could be materially affected if actual results differ from these estimates and assumptions.

Customer  Concentration:  A  significant  portion  of  Materials  &  Construction  revenue  and  accounts  receivable  is 
generated directly and indirectly from projects administered by the City and County of Honolulu and from the State of Hawai‘i. 
Reductions in funding of infrastructure projects by these government agencies could reduce revenue and profits from the M&C 
segment. Further, although the customer mix of real estate sales in our Land Operations segment may be diverse in any given 
period,  during  the  years  ended  December  31,  2018  and  December  31,  2019,  the  Land  Operations  segment  recognized  gross 
profits  of  $162.2  million  and  $6.7  million,  respectively,  in  connection  with  the  sale  of  approximately  41,000  acres  of  Maui 
agricultural  land  and  100%  of  the  Company's  ownership  interest  in  Central  Maui  Feedstocks  LLC  and  Kulolio  Ranch  LLC 
(collectively referred to as the "Agricultural Land Sale").

Rounding: Amounts in the consolidated financial statements and notes are rounded to the nearest tenth of a million. 
Accordingly,  a  recalculation  of  some  per-share  amounts  and  percentages,  if  based  on  the  reported  data,  may  result  in 
differences.

Reclassifications:  Certain  amounts  presented  in  the  prior  year  have  been  reclassified  to  conform  to  the  current  year 
presentation  (e.g.,  captions  previously  presented  in  the  prior  years  that,  in  the  currently  presented  periods,  are  less  than  five 
percent of total assets or total liabilities were combined in the current year consolidated balance sheets). Also refer to Note 2 to 
the  consolidated  financial  statements  for  such  reclassifications  made  in  conjunction  with  the  adoption  of  recent  accounting 
pronouncements. Further, a reclassification was made to the consolidated statements of cash flows to present, on a net basis, 
amounts previously presented separately within cash flows from operating activities (i.e., to present activity related to proceeds 
and  expenditures  of  real  estate  development/other  property  for  sale  –  normal  operating  activity  in  the  Company's  Land 
Operations  segment  –  on  a  net  basis  similar  to  the  presentation  of  changes  in  other  inventories  held  by  the  Company).  This 
change does not affect previously reported cash flows from operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Significant Accounting Policies

Real estate property, net: Real estate property, net primarily represents long-lived physical assets associated with the 
CRE  segment's  leasing  activity  (e.g.,  improved  property  leases  and  ground  leases);  it  also  includes  landholdings  and  related 
assets in the Land Operations segment that the Company holds for either possible future development or future monetization as 

60

part of its simplification strategy. The balance primarily consists of land, buildings and improvements and is recorded at cost, 
net of accumulated depreciation.

Expenditures for additions, improvements and other enhancements to real estate properties are capitalized, and minor 
replacements,  maintenance  and  repairs  that  do  not  improve  or  extend  asset  lives  are  charged  to  expense  as  incurred.  When 
assets  related  to  real  estate  properties  are  retired  or  otherwise  disposed  of,  the  related  cost  and  accumulated  depreciation  is 
removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in results of operations for the respective period.

Certain  costs  are  capitalized  related  to  the  development  and  redevelopment  of  real  estate  properties,  including  pre-
construction costs; real estate taxes; insurance; construction costs; and salaries and related costs of personnel directly involved. 
Additionally,  the  Company  makes  estimates  as  to  the  probability  of  certain  development  and  redevelopment  projects  being 
completed. If the Company determines the development or redevelopment is no longer probable of completion, the Company 
expenses all capitalized costs which are not recoverable.

Acquisitions of real estate properties: Acquisitions of real estate properties are evaluated to determine if they should 
be accounted for as asset acquisitions or business combinations (under current guidance, acquisitions of real estate properties 
are  generally  considered  asset  acquisitions).  Under  asset  acquisition  accounting,  the  Company  estimates  the  fair  value  of 
acquired tangible assets (e.g., land, buildings and tenant improvements), identifiable intangible assets (e.g., in-place leases and 
favorable leases) and liabilities (e.g., unfavorable leases and assumed debt) based on an evaluation of available information at 
the date of the acquisition. Based on these estimates, the purchase consideration is allocated to the acquired assets and assumed 
liabilities.  Transaction  costs  incurred  during  the  acquisition  process  are  capitalized  as  a  component  of  the  purchase 
consideration.

In  estimating  the  fair  value  of  the  tangible  and  intangible  assets  acquired  and  liabilities  assumed,  the  Company 
considers information obtained about each property as a result of its due diligence and marketing and leasing activities and uses 
various valuation methods, such as estimated cash flow projections using appropriate discount and capitalization rates, analysis 
of  recent  comparable  sales  transactions,  estimates  of  replacement  costs  net  of  depreciation  and  other  available  market 
information. The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property considers the value of the property as if it were vacant. 

Values for favorable leases acquired and unfavorable leases assumed are estimated based on the present value (using a 
discount rate reflecting the risks associated with leases acquired) of the difference between: (i) the contractual amounts to be 
paid pursuant to the leases negotiated and in-place at the time of acquisition and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease 
rates for the property or an equivalent property, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for favorable 
leases and the initial term plus the estimated term of any below-market, fixed-rate renewal options for unfavorable leases. The 
assets  recognized  and  liabilities  assumed  are  amortized  over  the  related  lease  term  plus  fixed-rate  renewal  options,  as 
appropriate. 

The purchase price is further allocated to in-place lease values and tenant relationship values based on management's 
evaluation of the specific characteristics of the acquired lease portfolio and the Company's overall relationship with the anchor 
tenants. Such amounts are amortized to expense over the remaining initial lease term (and expected renewal periods for tenant 
relationships).

Real  estate  developments:  Real  estate  developments  represent  certain  costs  capitalized  and  presented  in  the  Land 
Operations  segment  that  relate  to  (i)  active  real  estate  development  projects  and  other  land  intended  for  sale  or  (ii)  potential 
future real estate development projects intended for lease that would be part of future CRE segment operations. For potential 
future  real  estate  development  projects  intended  for  lease,  when  management  with  the  relevant  authority  has  approved 
expenditures for activities clearly associated with the development and construction of a CRE segment project (generally after 
all  required  government  agency  approvals  have  been  obtained),  the  capitalized  costs  associated  with  such  project  (e.g., 
historical cost of land) will be included in Real estate property, net in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. 

Certain  costs  capitalized  relating  to  active  real  estate  development  projects  intended  for  sale  may  include  pre-
construction costs (e.g., costs related to land acquisition); construction costs (e.g., grading, roads, water and sewage systems, 
landscaping  and  project  amenities);  direct  overhead  costs  (e.g.,  utilities,  maintenance,  insurance  and  real  estate  taxes); 
capitalized interest; and salaries and related costs of personnel directly involved. 

For development projects, capitalized costs are allocated using the direct method for expenditures that are specifically 
associated with the unit being sold and the relative-sales-value method for expenditures that benefit the entire project. Direct 
overhead costs incurred after the development project is substantially complete and ready to be marketed are charged to selling, 
general and administrative expense as incurred. All indirect overhead costs are charged to selling, general and administrative 
costs as incurred.

61

Cash flows related to active real estate development projects and other land intended for sale are classified as operating 

activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Capitalized  Interest:  Interest  costs  on  developments  and  major  redevelopments  are  capitalized  as  part  of  real  estate 
development and redevelopment projects that have not yet been placed into service. Capitalization of interest commences when 
development activities and expenditures begin and end when the asset is substantially complete and ready for its intended use or 
ready to be marketed.

Other  property,  net:  Other  property,  net  represents  all  other  long-lived  physical  assets  other  than  those  presented  in 
Real  estate  property,  net  and  Real  estate  developments.  The  balance  primarily  consists  of  long-lived  assets  in  the  M&C 
segment, but also contains corporate long-lived physical assets and Land Operations long-lived physical assets that are used in 
other  Land  Operations  activities  and  are  not  included  in  Real  estate  property,  net  or  Real  estate  developments  in  the 
accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Other property, net is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Expenditures 
for major renewals and betterments are capitalized. Replacements, maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend asset 
lives are expensed as incurred.

Depreciation:  Depreciation  and  amortization  is  computed  using  the  straight-line  method  over  the  estimated  useful 
lives of the assets or the units-of-production method for quarry production-related assets. Estimated useful lives of property are 
as follows:

Classification

Building and improvements
Leasehold improvements
Water, power and sewer systems
Asphalt plants, machinery and equipment
Other property improvements

Range of Life (in years)
10 to 40
5 to 10 (lesser of useful life or lease term)
5 to 50
2 to 35
3 to 35

Intangible Assets: Real estate intangible assets are included in Real estate intangible assets, net in the accompanying 
consolidated balance sheets and are generally related to the acquisition of commercial real estate properties. In the event a lease 
or leases with a tenant have been, or are expected to be, terminated early, the Company evaluates the remaining useful lives of 
depreciable or amortizable assets of the associated assets related to the lease terminated (i.e., tenant improvements, above and 
below  market  lease  intangibles,  in-place  lease  value  and  leasing  commissions).  Based  upon  consideration  of  the  facts  and 
circumstances surrounding the termination, the Company may accelerate the depreciation and amortization of such associated 
assets.

Other intangible assets  are included in Prepaid expenses and other assets in the  accompanying consolidated balance 
sheets and are generally related to historical acquisitions from the Materials & Construction segment or software capitalized for 
internal use.

Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or 

less at the date of purchase. The Company carries these investments at cost, which approximates fair value.

Restricted Cash: The Company's historical restricted cash balances have been primarily composed of proceeds from 
potential  §1031  of  the  Internal  Revenue  Code  of  1986,  as  amended  (the  "Code")  tax-deferred  sales  held  in  escrow  pending 
future use in acquisitions of replacement real estate assets (if within the required time period). There were no material  amounts 
of available proceeds from potential Code §1031 tax-deferred sales in the balance as of December 31, 2020 or December 31, 
2019.

Allowance  for  Credit  Losses:  The  Company  estimates  its  allowance  for  credit  losses  for  financial  assets  within  the 
scope  of  ASC  Topic  326,  Financial  Instruments  -  Credit  Losses  ("ASC  326"),  at  portfolio  levels  which  include  the  CRE 
segment,  the  Land  Operations  segment  and  individual  components  of  the  M&C  segment.  Within  these  portfolio  levels,  the 
Company develops expected credit loss estimates by security type (which may include financing receivables or contract assets 
recognized  in  contracts  with  customers)  by  factoring  historical  loss  information;  information  on  both  current  conditions  and 
reasonable  and  supportable  forecasts  of  future  conditions  that  may  not  be  reflected  in  historical  loss  information;  and  other 
relevant  credit  quality  information  for  the  respective  securities.    As  part  of  this  process,  the  Company  analyzes  relevant 
information on a collective (pool) basis for securities with similar risk characteristics or separately on an individual basis when 
a financial asset does not share risk characteristics with other financial assets.

The  portfolios  of  financial  assets  within  the  scope  of  ASC  326  relating  to  the  CRE  and  Land  Operations  segments 
include financing receivables (i.e., notes receivable), which are primarily composed of historical development and other land-

62

related transactions. The assets in these portfolios are analyzed on an individual basis, in which the Company considers certain, 
available information specific to the counterparties to the transactions (e.g., liquidity and solvency of the counterparties) and 
environmental factors that are relevant in the assessment of the expected collectability of the future cash flows for these assets 
(e.g., changes and expected changes in the general economic environment in which the counterparty operates). For these assets, 
the Company uses a discounted cash flow method to calculate the allowance for credit losses using the asset's effective interest 
rate.

The  portfolios  relating  to  the  M&C  segment  represent  discrete  business  components  and  are  composed  of  contract 
assets  from  the  Company's  contracts  with  customers.  The  differing  nature  of  the  products  and  services  provided  by  these 
components  drive  differences  in  historical  and  expected  credit  loss  patterns  and,  as  such,  the  Company  tracks  historical  loss 
information at this portfolio level as part of information it uses to develop its estimate of expected credit losses. Further, as the 
Company believes its contract assets have different default risk expectations based on customer/project type, in addition to the 
historical loss information at the portfolio level, the Company also pools the respective portfolio's contract receivables by these 
different categories to make adjustments to its historical loss experience. Other information the Company analyzes and uses in 
its development of its allowance for credit losses include known customer information and environmental factors surrounding 
the  customers'  current  and  future  ability  to  pay  (i.e.,  changes  and  expected  changes  in  the  general  economic  environment  in 
which the customers operate).

Allowance  for  Doubtful  Accounts:  Allowances  for  doubtful  accounts  are  established  by  management  based  on 
estimates of collectability. Estimates of collectability are principally based on an evaluation of the current financial condition of 
the Company’s customers and their payment history, which are regularly monitored by the Company.

Other  receivables,  net:  Other  receivables,  net  are  primarily  composed  of  notes  receivable  recorded  at  cost  less 

allowances for credit losses on the consolidated balance sheets.

Goodwill: The Company reviews goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level annually or between annual tests 
if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its 
carrying amount. If the results of the Company's test indicates that a reporting unit's estimated fair value is less than its carrying 
value, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value, 
not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Refer to Note 8 for additional detail.

Self-Insured Liabilities: The Company is self-insured for certain losses that include, but are not limited to, employee 
health,  workers’  compensation,  general  liability,  real  and  personal  property,  and  real  estate  construction  warranty  and  defect 
claims.  When  feasible,  the  Company  obtains  third-party  insurance  coverage  to  limit  its  exposure  to  these  claims.  When 
estimating  its  self-insured  liabilities,  the  Company  considers  a  number  of  factors,  including  historical  claims  experience, 
demographic factors, and valuations provided by independent third-parties. 

Redeemable  Noncontrolling  Interest:  As  noted  above,  the  Company  has  a  70%  ownership  interest  in  GLP  Asphalt 
through its ownership of Grace Pacific. The noncontrolling interest in GLP Asphalt may be redeemed for cash at the option of 
the noncontrolling interest holder at a redemption value, which is derived from a specified formula based on the GLP Asphalt 
operating agreement (i.e., other than fair value). 

Non-controlling interests in subsidiaries that are redeemable for cash or other assets outside of the Company’s control 
at other than fair value are classified as mezzanine equity, outside of equity and liabilities. Such amounts are adjusted at each 
reporting date to the higher of (1) the amount resulting from the initial carrying amount, increased or decreased for cumulative 
amounts of the noncontrolling interest holder's share of net income or loss, share of other comprehensive income or loss and 
dividends  and  (2)  the  redemption  value  on  each  annual  balance  sheet  date.  The  resulting  changes  in  the  carrying  value, 
increases  or  decreases,  are  recorded  with  corresponding  adjustments  against  earnings  surplus  or,  in  the  absence  of  earnings 
surplus,  common  stock.  When  applicable,  these  adjustments  are  reflected  in  the  computation  of  earnings  per  share  using  the 
two-class method.

Fair  Value  Measurements:  ASC  Topic  820,  Fair  Value  Measurements  and  Disclosures  ("ASC  820"),  as  amended, 
establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use 
of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The hierarchy places the highest priority on unadjusted quoted market prices 
in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and assigns the lowest priority to unobservable inputs 
(Level 3 measurements). The three levels of inputs within the hierarchy are defined as follows:

63

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level  2:  Significant  other  observable  inputs  other  than  Level  1  prices,  such  as  quoted  prices  for  similar  assets  or 
liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by 
observable market data.

Level  3:  Significant  unobservable  inputs  that  reflect  the  Company’s  own  assumptions  about  the  assumptions  that 
market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

If the technique used to measure fair value includes inputs from multiple levels of the fair value hierarchy, the lowest 

level of significant input determines the placement of the entire fair value measurement in the hierarchy.

Revenue Recognition and Leases - The Company as a Lessor: Sources of revenue for the Company primarily include 
commercial  property  rentals,  sales  of  real  estate,  real  estate  development  projects,  material  sales  and  paving  construction 
projects. The Company generates revenue from its three distinct business segments:

Commercial  Real  Estate:  The  Commercial  Real  Estate  segment  owns,  operates,  leases,  and  manages  a  portfolio  of 
retail, office, and industrial properties in Hawai‘i; it also leases urban land in Hawai‘i to third-party lessees. Commercial Real 
Estate revenue is recognized  under lease accounting guidance with the Company as lessor.

Leases  -  The  Company  as  Lessor:  The  Company  reviews  its  contracts  to  determine  if  they  qualify  as  a  lease.  A 
contract  is  determined  to  be  a  lease  when  the  right  to  substantially  all  of  the  economic  benefits  and  to  direct  the  use  of  an 
identified asset is transferred to a customer over a defined period of time for consideration. During this review, the Company 
evaluates  among  other  items,  asset  specification,  substitution  rights,  purchase  options,  operating  rights  and  control  over  the 
asset during the contract period.

The  Company  has  lease  agreements  with  lease  and  non-lease  components,  which  are  generally  accounted  for 
separately under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company has elected the practical expedient to 
not separate non-lease components from lease components for all classes of underlying assets where the component follows the 
same  timing  and  pattern  as  the  lease  component  and  the  lease  component  is  classified  as  an  operating  lease.  Non-lease 
components  included  in  rental  revenue  primarily  consist  of  tenant  reimbursements  for  common  area  maintenance  and  other 
services paid for by the lessor and utilized by the lessee. Under the practical expedient, the Company accounts for the single, 
combined component under leasing guidance as the lease component is the predominant component in the contract.

Rental  revenue  is  primarily  derived  from  operating  leases  and,  therefore,  is  generally  recognized  on  a  straight-line 
basis over the term of the lease. Fixed contractual payments from the Company's leases are recognized on a straight-line basis 
over  the  terms  of  the  respective  leases.  Straight-line  rental  revenue  commences  when  the  customer  assumes  control  of  the 
leased premises. The accrued straight-line  receivable represents the amount by which straight-line rental revenue exceeds rents 
currently billed in accordance with lease agreements. Certain of the Company's lease agreements include terms for contingent 
rental  revenue  (e.g.,  percentage  rents  based  on  tenant  sales  volume)  and  tenant  reimbursed  property  taxes,  which  are  both 
accounted for as variable payments.

Certain of the Company's leases include termination and/or extension options. Termination options allow the customer 
to  terminate  the  lease  prior  to  the  end  of  the  lease  term  under  specific  circumstances.    The  Company's  extension  options 
generally require a re-negotiation with the customer at market rates. Initial direct costs, primarily commissions, related to the 
leasing  of  properties  are  capitalized  on  the  balance  sheet  and  amortized  over  the  lease  term.  All  other  costs  to  negotiate  or 
arrange a lease are expensed as incurred.

Accounts receivable related to leases are regularly evaluated for collectability, considering factors including, but not 
limited to, the credit quality of the customer, historical trends of the customer, and changes in customer payment terms. Upon 
determination that the collectability of a customer receivable is not probable, the Company will reverse the receivable and 
record a corresponding reduction of revenue previously recognized. Subsequent revenue is recorded on a cash basis until 
collectability on related billings becomes probable. Upon determination that portions of a tenant's receivables are not probable 
of collection (e.g., due to current conditions impacting specific amounts), the Company will record an allowance for doubtful 
accounts for the recorded operating lease receivable and record a corresponding adjustment of revenue previously recognized.

In  April  2020,  the  FASB  staff  issued  a  question-and-answer  document  focusing  on  lease  concessions  related  to  the 
effects of the 2019 coronavirus ("COVID-19") and the application of lease accounting guidance related to modifications (the 
"Lease Modification Q&A"). See Note 14 for further discussion on the impact of applicable rent relief provided beginning in 
the quarter ended June 30, 2020 under the Lease Modification Q&A. 

64

Land Operations: Revenues from sales of real estate are recognized at the point in time when control of the underlying 
goods is transferred to the customer and the payment is due (generally on the closing date). For certain development projects, 
the  Company  will  use  a  percentage  of  completion  for  revenue  recognition.  Under  this  method,  the  amount  of  revenue 
recognized is based on the development costs that have been incurred throughout the reporting period as a percentage of total 
expected developments associated with the development project.

Materials & Construction: Revenue from the Materials & Construction segment is primarily generated from material 

sales and paving and construction contracts. The recognition of revenue is based on the underlying terms of the transactions.

Materials:  Revenues  from  material  sales,  which  include  basalt  aggregate,  liquid  asphalt  and  hot  mix  asphalt,  are 
usually recognized at a point in time when control of the underlying goods is transferred to the customers (generally this occurs 
when materials are picked up by customers or their agents) and when the Company has a present right to payment for materials 
sold.

Construction: The Company's construction contracts generally contain a single performance obligation as the promise 
to transfer individual goods or services are not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and is, therefore, not 
distinct. Revenue is earned from construction contracts over a period of time as control is continuously transferred to customers.

Construction contracts can generally be categorized into two types of contracts with customers based on the respective 
payment  terms;  either  lump  sum  or  unit  priced.  Lump  sum  contracts  require  the  total  amount  of  work  be  performed  under  a 
single fixed price irrespective of actual quantities or actual costs. Earnings on both unit price contracts and lump sum fixed-
price paving contracts are recognized using the percentage of completion, cost-to-cost, input method, as it is able to faithfully 
depict the transfer of control of the underlying assets to the customer. 

Related to its long-term construction contracts, due to the nature of the work required to be performed, estimating total 
revenue and cost at completion of the contract is complex, subject to many variables and requires significant judgment. Such 
estimates of contract revenue and cost are dependent on a number of factors that may change during a contract performance 
period, resulting in changes to estimated contract profitability. These factors include, but are not limited to, the completeness 
and accuracy of the original bid; changes in the timing of scheduled work; change orders; unusual weather conditions; changes 
in costs of labor and/or materials; changes in productivity expectations; and the expected, or actual, resolution terms for claims. 
Management evaluates changes in estimates on a contract by contract basis and uses the cumulative catch-up method to account 
for the changes in the period in which they are determined.

Certain construction contracts include retainage provisions. The balances billed but not paid by customers pursuant to 

these provisions generally become due upon completion and acceptance of the project work or products by the owners.

The Company deems its contract prices reflective of the standalone selling prices of the underlying goods and services 

since the contracts are required to go through a competitive bidding process.

On  a  consolidated  basis,  in  addition  to  disclosing  amounts  recorded  as  contract  assets  or  contract  liabilities  in  its 
consolidated balance sheets, the Company discloses information about the amount of contract consideration allocated to either 
wholly  unsatisfied  or  partially  satisfied  performance  obligations  (see  Note  13).  Related  to  this  disclosure,  the  Company  has 
elected to not disclose information about the amount of contract consideration allocated to remaining performance obligations 
for certain contracts that have original expected durations of one year or less. This may occur with contracts for sales of real 
estate  that  are  executed  as  of  the  end  of  the  period  with  control  of  the  underlying  assets  to  be  transferred  to  the  customer 
subsequent to the end of the period. The closing date of such transactions will generally occur within one year or less of the 
contract execution date.

Leases - The Company as Lessee: The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception by considering 
whether  that  arrangement  conveys  the  right  to  use  an  identified  asset  for  a  period  of  time  in  exchange  for  consideration. 
Operating  leases  are  included  in  Operating  lease  right-of-use  assets  ("ROU  assets")  and  Operating  lease  liabilities  in  the 
Company's consolidated balance sheets. ROU assets and lease liabilities related to finance leases are included in Other property, 
net and Notes payable and other debt, respectively, in the Company's consolidated balance sheets.

ROU assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent 
the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement 
date  based  on  the  present  value  of  lease  payments  over  the  lease  term.  As  most  of  the  Company's  leases  do  not  provide  an 
implicit rate and are not readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the estimated rate of 
interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar term of the lease payments at commencement date. ROU assets also include 
any lease payments made at or before the commencement date and excludes any lease incentives received. Lease terms may 

65

include  options  to  extend  or  terminate  the  lease  when  it  is  reasonably  certain  that  the  Company  will  exercise  that  option. 
Operating lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

In  connection  with  its  application  of  the  lease  guidance,  the  Company  has  evaluated  the  lease  and  non-lease 
components within its leases where it is the lessee and has elected, for all classes of underling assets, the practical expedient to 
present  lease  and  non-lease  components  in  its  lease  agreements  as  one  component.  The  Company  has  also  elected,  for  all 
classes of underlying assets, to not recognize lease liabilities and lease assets for leases with a term of 12 months or less.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Held and Used and Finite-Lived Intangible Assets: Long-lived assets held and used, 
including  finite-lived  intangible  assets,  are  reviewed  for  possible  impairment  when  events  or  circumstances  indicate  that  the 
carrying value may not be recoverable. In such an evaluation, the estimated future undiscounted cash flows generated by the 
asset are compared with the amount recorded for the asset to determine if its carrying value is not recoverable. If this review 
determines that the recorded value will not be recovered, the amount recorded for the asset is reduced to estimated fair value. 
Refer to Note 24 for further discussion.

Impairment  of  Investments  in  Affiliates:  The  Company's  investments  in  affiliates  that  are  accounted  for  under  the 
equity  method  are  reviewed  for  impairment  whenever  there  is  evidence  that  fair  value  may  be  below  carrying  cost.  An 
investment is written down to fair value if fair value is below carrying cost and the impairment is believed to be other-than-
temporary. Refer to Note 5 for further discussion.

Share-Based Compensation: The Company records compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made 

to employees and directors. The Company’s various equity plans are more fully described in Note 16.

Employee Benefit Plans: The Company provides a wide range of benefits to existing employees and retired employees, 
including single-employer defined benefit plans, postretirement, defined contribution plans, post-employment and health care 
benefits.  The  Company  records  amounts  relating  to  these  plans  based  on  various  actuarial  assumptions,  including  discount 
rates, assumed rates of return, compensation increases, turnover rates and health care cost rate trends. The Company reviews its 
actuarial assumptions on an annual basis and makes modifications to the assumptions based on current economic conditions and 
trends.  The  Company  believes  that  the  assumptions  utilized  in  recording  obligations  under  the  Company’s  plans,  which  are 
presented in Note 17, are reasonable based on its experience and on advice from its independent actuaries; however, differences 
in  actual  experience  or  changes  in  the  assumptions  may  materially  affect  the  Company’s  financial  position  or  results  of 
operations.

Income Taxes: The Company makes certain estimates and judgments in determining income tax expense for financial 
statement purposes. These estimates and judgments are applied in the calculation of tax credits, tax benefits and deductions, and 
in  the  calculation  of  certain  deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities,  which  arise  from  differences  in  the  timing  of  recognition  of 
revenue and expense for tax and financial statement purposes. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are adjusted to the 
extent  necessary  to  reflect  tax  rates  expected  to  be  in  effect  when  the  temporary  differences  reverse.  Adjustments  may  be 
required to deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities due to changes in tax laws and audit adjustments by tax authorities. To 
the  extent  adjustments  are  required  in  any  given  period,  the  adjustments  would  be  included  within  the  tax  provision  in  the 
accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Discontinued  Operations:  In  December  2016,  the  Company  completed  its  final  sugar  harvest  and  ceased  its  sugar 
operations.  Costs  related  to  the  cessation  of  sugar  operations  are  presented  as  discontinued  operations  in  the  consolidated 
statements  of  operations.  Liabilities  related  to  the  cessation  of  sugar  operations  are  presented  within  Accrued  and  other 
liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

Earnings  Per  Share  (“EPS”):  Basic  and  diluted  earnings  per  share  are  computed  and  disclosed  in  accordance  with 
ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. The Company utilizes the two-class method to compute earnings available to common 

66

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
shareholders. Under the two-class method, earnings are adjusted by accretion amounts to redeemable noncontrolling interests 
recorded  at  redemption  value.  The  adjustments  represent  in-substance  dividend  distributions  to  the  noncontrolling  interest 
holder as the holder has a contractual right to receive a specified amount upon redemption. As a result, earnings are adjusted to 
reflect this in-substance distribution that is different from other common shareholders. In addition, the Company allocates net 
earnings  to  each  class  of  common  stock  and  participating  security  as  if  all  of  the  net  earnings  for  the  period  had  been 
distributed.  The  Company's  participating  securities  consist  of  time-based  restricted  unit  awards  that  contain  a  non-forfeitable 
right to receive dividends and, therefore, are considered to participate in earnings with common shareholders. Basic earnings 
per common share excludes dilution and is calculated by dividing net earnings allocated to common shares by the weighted-
average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net 
earnings allocable to common shares by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period, as adjusted 
for the potential dilutive effect of non-participating share-based awards.

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

In  August  2018,  the  FASB  issued  Accounting  Standards  Update  ("ASU")  No.  2018-14,  Changes  to  the  Disclosure 
Requirements  for  Defined  Benefit  Plans  ("ASU  2018-14").  The  guidance  clarifies  current  disclosures  and  removes  several 
disclosure requirements including accumulated other comprehensive income expected to be recognized over the next fiscal year 
and  amount  and  timing  of  plan  assets  expected  to  be  returned  to  the  employer.  The  new  guidance  also  requires  additional 
disclosures and, when applicable, explanations for significant gains and losses related to changes in the benefit plan obligation. 
ASU 2018-14 was effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020. The adoption of this standard did not have any 
impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations and did not have a significant impact on its disclosures for 
defined benefit plans (refer to Note 17).

In  June  2016,  the  FASB  issued  ASU  No.  2016-13,  Measurement  of  Credit  Losses  on  Financial  Instruments  ("ASU 
2016-13"), which requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost 
and  available  for  sale  debt  securities,  and  amended  the  guidance  thereafter.  The  guidance  in  ASU  2016-13  and  related 
amendments  was  codified  into  ASC  326.  ASC  326  amended  prior  guidance  on  the  impairment  of  financial  instruments  by 
adding  an  impairment  model  based  on  expected  losses  rather  than  incurred  losses  that  would  be  recognized  through  an 
allowance for credit losses. Amendments included in ASC 326 further clarified that operating lease receivables are not within 
the scope of ASC 326 and are to remain governed by lease guidance. 

The Company completed its adoption of the provisions of ASU 2016-13, as amended, with an effective date of January 

1, 2020, using a modified retrospective approach for its financial assets in the scope of ASC 326, which consisted of in-scope 
financial assets held at amortized cost (presented as part of the Company's accounts and retention receivables, other receivables 
and other contract assets). As a result of the guidance, the Company is required to estimate and record non-cash credit losses 
related to these financial assets and expand its credit quality disclosures. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 
2020 are presented under ASC 326 while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable 
guidance. The Company recorded a net decrease of $4.1 million to total equity as of January 1, 2020, with a corresponding 
increase to previously recorded valuation accounts for its financial assets held at amortized cost for the cumulative effect of 
adopting ASC 326. The new standard did not have a material impact to any of the Company's other financial assets or 
instruments presented on its consolidated balance sheet. The Company further evaluated the impact of adopting ASC 326 on 
income tax accounting and recorded corresponding deferred tax assets related to the valuation accounts which were offset by 
the valuation allowance on its recorded deferred taxes (refer to Note 18).

In  August  2018,  the  FASB  issued  ASU  No.  2018-13,  Changes  to  the  Disclosure  Requirements  for  Fair  Value 
Measurement. The guidance amends and removes several disclosure requirements, including the valuation processes for Level 
3  fair  value  measurements.  This  ASU  also  modifies  some  disclosure  requirements  and  requires  additional  disclosures  for 
changes in unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements 
and  requires  the  range  and  weighted  average  of  significant  unobservable  inputs  used  to  develop  Level  3  fair  value 
measurements. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements 
or footnote disclosures.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other: Customer's Accounting for 
Implementation  Costs  Incurred  in  a  Cloud  Computing  Arrangement  That  is  a  Service  Contract.  The  guidance  aligns  the 
requirements  for  capitalizing  implementation  costs  incurred  in  a  hosting  arrangement  that  is  a  service  contract  with  the 
requirements  for  capitalizing  implementation  costs  incurred  to  develop  or  obtain  internal-use  software  (and  hosting 
arrangements  that  include  an  internal-use  software  license).  Accordingly,  the  amendments  require  an  entity  (customer)  in  a 
hosting arrangement that is a service contract to follow the guidance in Subtopic 350-40 to determine which implementation 
costs to capitalize as an asset related to the service contract and which costs to expense. The amendments also require the entity 
(customer) to expense the capitalized implementation costs of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract over the term of 
the  hosting  arrangement,  which  includes  reasonably  certain  renewals.  The  adoption  of  this  standard  did  not  have  a  material 
impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

Reclassifications in conjunction with recently adopted accounting pronouncements

In  conjunction  with  its  adoption  of  ASC  326  with  an  effective  date  of  January  1,  2020,  the  Company  made  certain 
reclassifications in its presentation of the consolidated balance sheets for amounts related to contract receivables and financing 
receivables and, as a result, certain amounts in the prior year have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation; 
such  reclassifications  were  not  material  to  the  consolidated  financial  statements.  One  such  reclassification  was  to  present 
interest  receivables  in  the  same  line  as  the  related  financing  receivables  (affecting  Accounts  receivable,  net  and  Other 
receivables).  Another  was  to  aggregate  Accounts  receivable,  net  and  Contracts  retention  into  a  single  line  item  in  the 
accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheets  (refer  to  Note  13  where  such  balances  will  continue  to  be  presented  separately). 
Further, certain amounts historically related to the allowance for doubtful accounts were reclassified under current presentation 
(e.g., certain amounts are now presented under the allowance for credit losses calculated under ASC 326 as described in Note 6

In  March  2020,  the  FASB  issued  ASU  No.  2020-04,  Reference  Rate  Reform,  establishing  ASC  Topic  848,  and 
amended  the  standard  thereafter  ("ASC  848").  ASC  848  provides  optional  practical  expedients  and  exceptions  related  to  the 
impacts of reference rate reform that affect certain debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts if certain criteria are met. The 
amendments apply only to contracts and hedging relationships that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be 
discontinued due to reference rate reform. These amendments are effective immediately and may be applied prospectively to 
contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated on or before December 31, 2022. Reference 
rate reform has not had a material impact on any of the Company's existing contracts, therefore, the Company has not elected to 
apply any of the optional practical expedients and exceptions under ASC 848 as of the current date. The Company will assess 
future changes in its contracts and the impact of electing to apply the optional practical expedients and exceptions provided by 
ASC 848 as they occur, but does not expect their application will have a material effect on its financial position or results of 
operations.

The  Company's  investments  in  affiliates  consist  principally  of  equity  investments  in  limited  liability  companies  in 
which  the  Company  has  the  ability  to  exercise  significant  influence  over  the  operating  and  financial  policies  of  these 
investments. Accordingly, the Company accounts for its investments using the equity method of accounting. Operating results 
presented  in  the  Company's  consolidated  statements  of  operations  include  the  Company's  proportionate  share  of  net  income 
(loss) from its equity method investments. 

The Company’s carrying value of investments in affiliates totaled $169.6 million and $167.6 million as of December 
31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The amounts of the Company’s investment as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 that represent 
undistributed earnings of investments in affiliates were approximately $10.6 million and $9.2 million, respectively. Dividends 
and distributions from unconsolidated affiliates totaled $6.1 million in 2020, $12.4 million in 2019 and $51.1 million in 2018.

The carrying value of the Company's investment in Kukui‘ula, which includes capital contributed by the Company to 
the  joint  venture  and  the  value  of  land  initially  contributed,  net  of  joint  venture  earnings  and  losses  and  impairments,  was 
$118.7 million and $116.2 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The total capital contributed to the joint 
venture by the Company as a percent of total committed was approximately 62% as of December 31, 2020. The Company does 
not have a controlling financial interest in the joint venture, but exercises significant influence over the operating and financial 
policies of the venture and, therefore, accounts for its investment using the equity method. Due to the complex nature of cash 
distributions to the members,  net  income of the  joint venture is allocated  to the members, including the  Company, using the 
Hypothetical Liquidation at Book Value (“HLBV”) method. Under the HLBV method, joint venture income or loss is allocated 
to the members based on the period change in each member’s claim on the book value of net assets of the venture, excluding 
capital contributions and distributions made during the period.

71

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The Company also has investments in various other joint ventures that operate or develop real estate and joint ventures 
that  engage  in  materials  and  construction-related  activities  and  renewable  energy.  The  Company  does  not  have  a  controlling 
financial  interest,  but  has  the  ability  to  exercise  significant  influence  over  the  operating  and  financial  policies  of  these  joint 
ventures and, accordingly, accounts for its investments in these ventures using the equity method of accounting.

Impairment of Investments in Affiliates: When there is evidence that the fair value of the Company's investments in 
affiliates that are accounted for under the equity method may be below the carrying value, the Company must determine if such 
decline in value is other-than-temporary. In evaluating the fair value of an investment and whether any identified impairment is 
other-than-temporary, significant estimates and considerable judgments are involved. These estimates and judgments are based, 
in part, on the Company’s current and future evaluation of economic conditions in general, as well as a joint venture’s current 
and future plans. Additionally, these impairment calculations are highly subjective because they require management to make 
assumptions and apply judgments to estimates regarding the timing and amount of future cash flows that may consider various 
factors, including sales prices, development costs, market conditions and absorption rates, probabilities related to various cash 
flow scenarios, and appropriate discount rates based on the perceived risks, among others. In evaluating whether an impairment 
is  other-than-temporary,  the  Company  considers  all  available  information,  including  the  length  of  time  and  extent  of  the 
impairment,  the  financial  condition  and  near-term  prospects  of  the  affiliate,  the  Company’s  ability  and  intent  to  hold  the 
investment  for  a  period  of  time  sufficient  to  allow  for  any  anticipated  recovery  in  market  value,  and  projected  industry  and 
economic trends, among others. Changes in these and other assumptions could affect the projected operational results and fair 
value of the unconsolidated affiliates, and accordingly, may require valuation adjustments to the Company’s investments that 
may materially impact the Company’s financial condition or its future operating results.

Weakness in particular real estate markets, difficulty in obtaining or renewing project-level financing or development 
approvals,  and  changes  in  the  Company’s  development  strategy,  among  other  factors,  may  affect  the  value  or  feasibility  of 
certain development projects owned by the Company or by its joint ventures and could lead to additional impairment charges in 
the future. In the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company did not recognize any impairments of investments in affiliates.

During the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company recorded impairments of investments in affiliates of $188.6 million. 
This amount was primarily driven by an impairment in its investment in Kukui‘ula. In 2018, the Company determined that its 
investment  in  Kukui‘ula  was  other-than-temporarily  impaired  as  a  result  of  changing  its  strategy  and  no  longer  intending  to 
hold its investment through the duration of the project. As a result, the Company estimated the fair value of its investment in 
Kukui‘ula (using a discounted cash flow model) to be below its carrying value and recorded the non-cash, other-than-temporary 
impairment. The Company classified the fair value measurement as Level 3. The weighted average discount rate used in the 
valuation was 18.0%.

6.  

Allowances and Other Reserves 

The Company reduces recorded amounts for accounts receivable and other financial assets by various allowances and 
reserve accounts. Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASC 326 and certain amounts previously recorded in the 
allowance for doubtful accounts or in other allowances for financing receivables were reclassified to an allowance for credits 
losses.  Also,  effective  January  1,  2019,  the  Company  adopted  guidance  under  the  new  lease  standards  ("ASC  842")  and 
reclassified certain amounts previously in the allowance for doubtful accounts into a reserve for cash basis tenants (i.e., reserves 
on receivables for which the Company assessed that the tenant's future payment of amounts due under leases is not probable).

2 Impact of adoption of ASC 326 recorded against total equity.
3 Net provisions charged against income.
4 Write offs or other activity (e.g., reclassifications for movement of allowances to cash basis reserves).

During the year ended December 31, 2020, additional tenants were identified and designated as cash basis tenants and 
amounts for such tenants previously accounted for in the allowance for doubtful accounts were reclassified into the reserve for 
cash basis tenants. Refer to Note 14 for further discussion on current period charges related to the Company's assessment of 
collectability on amounts due under leases. Note that under ASC 842, such charges and reserve activity reflect a reversal of the 
revenue and receivable balance originally recorded.

The allowance for credit losses for financing receivables relates to three assets that originated as part of transactions in 
the Land Operations segment. The credit quality of the Company's financing receivables is monitored each reporting period on 
an individual asset basis using specific information on the counterparties in these transactions. The first originated in 2008 and 
had an amortized cost basis of $1.6 million as of both the adoption date of January 1, 2020 and December 31, 2020. Based on 
individual credit quality indicators of the counterparty as of the adoption date and December 31, 2020, the most likely outcome 
of expected cash flows for the asset in a range of possible outcomes (i.e., the single best estimate) was zero and, as a result, the 
Company recorded a full allowance for credit losses for the financing receivable on adoption of ASC 326 as of January 1, 2020 
and  as  of  December  31,  2020.  The  second  financing  receivable  within  Land  Operations  was  generated  in  2016  and  had  an 
amortized  cost  basis  of  $13.5  million  and  $11.1  million  as  of  the  adoption  date  of  January  1,  2020  and  December  31,  2020, 
respectively. The third financing receivable within Land Operations was generated in 2017 and had an amortized cost basis of 
$2.6 million and $2.7 million as of the adoption date of January 1, 2020 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The second and 
third  financing  receivables  were  evaluated  based  on  the  credit  quality  indicators  of  the  respective  counterparties  (as  well  as 
reasonable  and  supportable  forecasts  of  future  conditions  that  are  relevant  to  determining  the  expected  collectability  of  the

receivable) as of the adoption date and December 31, 2020 and the estimated allowance for credit losses was calculated using a 
discounted cash flow approach.

The allowance for credit losses for contract assets relates to trade receivables in the M&C segment that are due in one 

year or less and resulted from revenue transactions from contracts with customers. 

For  allowance  for  credit  losses  estimated  using  the  discounted  cash  flow  approach,  changes  in  present  value 
attributable to the passage of time are reported as an adjustment to credit loss expense. As a result, the provision for expected 
credit losses in any given period may be impacted by changes in expected credit losses on future payments or current period 
collections for receivables on which allowances were recorded in previous periods, both of which may be further impacted or 
offset by changes in present value attributable to the passage of time.

Goodwill  Impairment:  The  goodwill  impairment  test  estimates  the  fair  value  of  a  reporting  unit  using  various 
methodologies,  including  an  income  approach  that  is  based  on  a  discounted  cash  flow  analysis  and  a  market  approach  that 
involves  the  application  of  market-derived  multiples.  Valuations  performed  in  conjunction  with  the  Company's  goodwill 
impairment tests for each reporting unit assumes that each is an unrelated business to be sold separately and independently from 
the other reporting units.

The  discounted  cash  flow  approach  relies  on  a  number  of  assumptions,  including  future  macroeconomic  conditions, 
market  factors  specific  to  the  reporting  unit,  the  amount  and  timing  of  estimated  future  cash  flows  to  be  generated  by  the 
business over an extended period of time and a discount rate that considers the risks related to the amount and timing of the 
cash flows, among others. Under the market multiple methodology, the estimate of fair value is based on market multiples of 
EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) or revenues. When using market multiples of EBITDA 
or revenues, the Company must make judgments about the comparability of those multiples in closed and proposed transactions 
and comparability of multiples for similar companies.

If the results of the Company's test indicates that a reporting unit's estimated fair value is less than its carrying value, 
an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value, not to 
exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.

Based on the results of the valuation performed in conjunction with the Company's annual goodwill impairment test in 
2019,  the  carrying  amounts  of  the  GPC  and  GPRS  reporting  units  exceeded  their  estimated  fair  values  and  goodwill  was 
determined  to  be  impaired.    The  decline  in  fair  value  was  due  primarily  to  persisting,  competitive  market  pressures  that 
negatively affected sales and margins. As a result, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $37.2 million during 
the fourth quarter of 2018.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2019, the Company was required to perform an interim impairment test for 
the goodwill in each of its three M&C reporting units due to the continued decline in M&C sales and margins in 2019, which 
resulted from continued, adverse market conditions. Based on the results of the valuation performed in conjunction with this 
test, the carrying amounts of the three M&C reporting units exceeded their estimated fair values and goodwill was determined 
to be impaired. As a result, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $49.7 million during the third quarter of 
2019.

The  Company's  goodwill  and  impairment  test  estimated  the  fair  value  of  the  M&C  reporting  units  using  various 
methodologies, including a market approach that involves the application of market-derived multiples and an income approach 
that  was  based  on  a  discounted  cash  flow  analysis.  The  Company  classified  these  fair  value  measurements  as  Level  3.    The 
weighted-average discount rate used in the 2018 valuation and 2019 valuation was 13.6% and 12.7%, respectively.

Fair Value Measurements

The  fair  value  of  the  Company's  cash  and  cash  equivalents,  accounts  receivable,  net  and  short-term  borrowings 

approximate their carrying values due to the short-term nature of the instruments.

The fair value of the Company's notes receivable approximates the carrying amount of $11.5 million at December 31, 
2020.  The fair value and carrying amount of these notes was $15.7 million at December 31, 2019.  The fair value of these notes 
is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis in which the Company uses unobservable inputs such as market interest rates 
determined  by  the  loan-to-value  and  market  capitalization  rates  related  to  the  underlying  collateral  at  which  management 
believes similar loans would be made and classified as a Level 3 measurement in the fair value hierarchy.

At December 31, 2020, the carrying amount of the Company's notes payable and other debt was $687.1 million and the 
corresponding fair value was $704.1 million.  At December 31, 2019, the carrying amount of the Company's notes payable and 
other  debt  was  $704.6  million  and  the  corresponding  fair  value  was  $727.3  million.  The  fair  value  of  debt  is  calculated  by 
discounting the future cash flows of the debt at rates based on instruments with similar risk, terms and maturities as compared 
to the Company's existing debt arrangements (Level 3).

The Company records its interest rate swaps at fair value. The fair values of the Company's interest rate swaps (Level 
2 measurements) are based on the estimated amounts that the Company would receive or pay to terminate the contracts at the 
reporting date and are determined using interest rate pricing models and interest rate related observable inputs (refer to Note 11 
for fair value information regarding the Company's derivative instruments).

During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded aggregate impairment charges of 
$5.6  million,  $49.7  million  and  $79.4  million  related  to  goodwill  and/or  other  long-lived  assets.  During  the  year  ended 
December  31,  2018,  the  Company  recorded  an  other-than-temporary-impairment  charge  of  $188.6  million  related  to  equity 
method investments (refer to Note 5).  The Company has classified the fair value measurements as a Level 3 measurement in 
the fair value hierarchy because they involve significant unobservable inputs such as cash flow projections, discount rates and 
management assumptions.

The Company's notes payable and other debt is categorized between debt instruments secured by real estate improved 
properties  or  other  assets  ("Secured  Debt"),  unsecured  notes  payable  and  other  term  loans  ("Unsecured  Debt")  and  lines  of 
credit  and  borrowings  under  revolving  credit  facilities  ("Revolving  Credit  Facilities")  which  includes  the  existing  revolving 
credit facility used for general Company purposes ("A&B Revolver"), as well as a revolving credit facility related to one of the 
consolidated subsidiaries in the M&C segment (the "GLP Asphalt Revolving Credit Facility").

Secured Debt

Kailua  Town  Center:  On  December  20,  2013,  the  Company  consummated  the  acquisition  of  the  Kailua  Portfolio,  a 
collection of retail assets on Oahu. In connection with the acquisition of the Kailua Portfolio, the Company assumed a $12.0 
million mortgage note, which matures in September 2021, and an interest rate swap that effectively converts the floating rate 
debt to a fixed rate of 5.95% (refer to Note 11). As of December 31, 2020, the balance of the mortgage note was $9.8 million.

The Company also secured a $5.0 million second mortgage on the Kailua Portfolio during the first quarter of 2017, which bears 
interest at 3.15% and matures in 2021. The second mortgage has an outstanding balance at December 31, 2020 of $4.5 million.

Heavy Equipment Financing: In connection with the M&C segment, the Company enters into leases for machinery and 

equipment related to its businesses that are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are further discussed in Note 15.

Laulani Village: In connection with asset acquisitions of commercial real estate improved properties made in the year 
ended December 31, 2018, the Company assumed a $62.0 million mortgage secured by Laulani Village that matures on May 1, 
2024. The note bears interest at 3.93% and requires monthly interest payments of approximately $0.2 million until May 2020 
and principal and interest payments of approximately $0.3 million thereafter.

Pearl  Highlands:  On  September  17,  2013,  the  Company  consummated  the  acquisition  of  Pearl  Highlands  Center  in 
Pearl City, Oahu. In connection with the acquisition, the Company assumed a $59.3 million mortgage loan secured by Pearl 
Highlands Center. On December 1, 2014, the loan was refinanced to increase the amount of the loan to $92.0 million (bearing 
interest  at  4.15%).  The  refinanced  loan  requires  monthly  principal  and  interest  payments  of  approximately  $0.4  million  and 
requires a final principal payment of approximately $73.0 million due on December 8, 2024.

Manoa  Marketplace:  In  2016,  the  Company,  through  wholly-owned  subsidiaries,  entered  into  a  $60.0  million 
mortgage  loan  agreement  secured  by  Manoa  Marketplace  with  First  Hawaiian  Bank  ("FHB").  Such  loan  bears  interest  at 
LIBOR plus 1.35% and requires principal and interest payments over the term with a final principal payment of $41.7 million 
due on August 1, 2029. The Company had previously entered into an interest rate swap with a notional amount equal to the 
principal  amount  on  the  debt  to  fix  the  variable  interest  rate  on  the  related  periodic  interest  payments  at  an  effective  rate  of 
3.14% (refer to Note 11).

Assets Pledged as Collateral: The gross book value of the commercial real estate assets pledged as collateral described 

above at December 31, 2020 was $375.5 million.

Unsecured Debt

Prudential  Series  Notes:  In  December  2015,  the  Company  entered  into  an  agreement  (the  "Prudential  Agreement") 
with Prudential Investment Management, Inc. and its affiliates (collectively, "Prudential") for an unsecured note purchase and 
private shelf facility that enabled the Company to issue notes in an aggregate amount up to $450.0 million, less the sum of all 
principal amounts then outstanding on any notes issued by the Company or any of its subsidiaries to Prudential and the amounts 
of any notes that are committed under the Prudential Agreement. The Prudential Agreement (which amended and renewed a 
then-existing agreement) had an issuance period that ended in December 2018 and contained certain restrictive covenants for 
the notes issued under the Prudential Agreement that were substantially the same as the covenants contained in the Historical 
Revolving  Credit  Facility  (defined  below).  Borrowings  under  the  uncommitted  shelf  facility  bear  interest  at  rates  that  were 
determined at the time of borrowing.

In  September  2017,  the  Company  entered  into  an  amendment  of  the  Prudential  Agreement  (the  "Pru  Amendment"), 
which  amended  certain  covenants  (see  below).  Additionally,  the  Pru  Amendment  included  a  provision  for  a  contingent 
incremental interest rate increase of 20 basis points on all outstanding notes that was based on the Company's ratio of debt to 
total adjusted asset value (as defined in the Pru Amendment) measured against the provision's allowed ratio 0.35 to 1.0 from the 
date of the amendment through September 30, 2018. If triggered, the contingent interest rate adjustment would continue until 
such  time  that  the  Company's  ratio  of  debt  to  total  adjusted  asset  value  declined  to  0.35  to  1.0  or  below  (at  which  point  the 
provision  would  have  no  further  force  or  effect).  In  October  2018,  the  provision  was  triggered  and  interest  rates  for  all 
Prudential Series Notes increased by 20 basis points. In March 2019, based on the Company's subsequent leverage-based ratio 
falling  below  the  provision's  threshold,  the  interest  rates  for  all  Prudential  Series  Notes  returned  to  their  originally  stated 
amounts at the time of the borrowing. 

Bank Syndicated Loan: In February 2018, the Company entered into an agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National 
Association ("Wells Fargo") and a syndicate of other financial institutions that provides for a $50.0 million term loan facility 
("Wells Fargo Term Facility" or "Bank Syndicated Loan"). The Company also drew $50.0 million under the Wells Fargo Term 
Facility in February 2018 and used such term loan proceeds to repay amounts that were borrowed under revolving credit 
facilities described below. Borrowings under the Wells Fargo Term Facility bear interest at a variable base rate, as defined, plus 
a margin that is determined using a leverage based pricing grid. In February 2020 the Company entered into an interest rate 
swap agreement with a notional amount equal to the principal amount of the debt to fix the variable interest rate on the related 
periodic interest payments resulting in an effective rate (subject to changes in the margin based on a pricing grid) of 3.35% as 
of December 31, 2020 (refer to Note 11).

78

Term Loan 5: In November 2017, the Company entered into a rate lock commitment to draw $25.0 million under its 
Note Purchase and Private Shelf Agreement with AIG Asset Management (U.S.), LLC. Under the commitment, the Company 
drew $25.0 million in December 2017. The note bears interest at 4.30% and matures on December 20, 2029. Interest only is 
paid semi-annually and the principal balance is due at maturity.

Revolving credit facilities 

GLP  Asphalt  Revolving  Credit  Facility:  At  December  31,  2017,  the  Company  had,  at  one  of  its  consolidated 
subsidiaries,  GLP  Asphalt,  a  $30.0  million  line  of  credit  (the  "GLP  Asphalt  Revolving  Credit  Facility").  The  GLP  Asphalt 
Revolving Credit Facility is collateralized by the subsidiary's accounts receivable, inventory and equipment and may only be 
used for asphalt purchase. The Company and the noncontrolling interest holders are guarantors, on a several basis, for their pro 
rata shares (based on membership interests) of borrowings under the line of credit. In September 2018, GLP Asphalt entered 
into a Third Amended Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo, which amended and extended its existing $30.0 million committed 
revolving credit facility, reduced the interest rate by 25 basis points and added a fee of 20 basis points on the unused amount of 
the  GLP  Asphalt  Revolving  Credit  Facility.  The  GLP  Asphalt  Revolving  Credit  Facility  maturity  has  a  current  maturity  of 
April 26, 2021.

The GLP Asphalt Revolving Credit Facility contains certain restrictive covenants. Based on its net income after taxes 
in  the  year  ended  December  31,  2019  and  December  31,  2020,  GLP  was  not  in  compliance  with  all  of  the  covenants  and 
received waivers on such requirements. As noted in the table above, as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2020, there 
was no outstanding balance on the GLP Asphalt Revolving Credit Facility.

A&B Revolver: The Company had a revolving senior credit facility that provided for an aggregate $350.0 million, five-
year unsecured commitment (the "Historical Revolving Credit Facility"), with an uncommitted $100.0 million increase option. 
The  Historical  Revolving  Credit  Facility  also  provided  for  a  $100.0  million  sub-limit  for  the  issuance  of  standby  and 
commercial letters of credit and an $80.0 million sub-limit for swing line loans. Amounts drawn under the facilities would bear 
interest  at  a  stated  rate,  as  defined,  plus  a  margin  that  is  determined  based  on  a  pricing  grid  using  the  ratio  of  debt  to  total 
adjusted asset value, as defined. The agreement contained certain restrictive covenants, the most significant of which requires 
the  maintenance  of  minimum  shareholders’  equity  levels,  minimum  EBITDA  to  fixed  charges  ratio,  maximum  debt  to  total 
assets  ratio,  minimum  unencumbered  income-producing  asset  value  to  unencumbered  debt  ratio,  and  limitations  on  priority 
debt,  as  defined  in  the  agreement.  In  December  2015,  the  Historical  Revolving  Credit  Facility  was  amended  to  extend  the 
maturity date to December 2020.

In September 2017, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement ("A&B Revolver") 
with Bank of America N.A., as administrative agent, First Hawaiian Bank, and other lenders party thereto, which amended and 
restated the existing $350.0 million commitment under the Historical Revolving Credit Facility. The A&B Revolver increased 
the total revolving commitments to $450.0 million, extended the term of the facilities to September 15, 2022, amended certain 
covenants (see below), and reduced the interest rates and fees charged under the Historical Revolving Credit Facility. All other 
terms under the Historical Revolving Credit Facility remained substantially unchanged.

At December 31, 2020, the Company had $111.0 million of revolving credit borrowings outstanding, $1.1 million in 

letters of credit had been issued against the facility, and $337.9 million remained available.

Covenants under A&B Revolver and Pru Amendment (subsequent to amendments)

The principal amendments under the A&B Revolver and the Pru Amendment are as follows:

•
•
•

•

•

An increase in the maximum ratio of debt to total adjusted asset value from 0.5:1.0 to 0.6:1.0.
An increase in the aggregate maximum amount of priority debt at any time from 20% to 25%.
Allows the Company to consummate the holding company merger to adopt certain governance changes and facilitate 
the Company's ongoing compliance with REIT requirements.
Sets the minimum shareholders' equity amount to be $850.6 million plus 75% of the net proceeds received from equity 
issuances, less non-recurring costs related to the REIT conversion, among other additions and subtractions.
Allows for the payment of minimum dividends required to maintain REIT status and other dividends in any amount so 
long as no event of default shall then exist or would exist after giving effect to such dividends.

Derivative Instruments

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk related to its variable-rate debt. The Company balances its cost of debt 
and exposure to interest rates primarily through its mix of fixed-rate and variable-rate debt. From time to time, the Company 
may use interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to interest rate risk.

Cash flow hedges of interest rate risk

The Company records gains or losses related to interest rate swaps that have not been designated as cash flow hedges 
in  Interest  and  other  income  (expense),  net  in  its  consolidated  statements  of  operations.  There  were $0.2  million  of  gains 
recognized in 2020 and no amounts recognized in 2019 related to changes in fair value.

The Company measures all of its interest rate swaps at fair value. The fair values of the Company's interest rate swaps 
(Level 2) are based on the estimated amounts that the Company would receive or pay to terminate the contracts at the reporting 
date and are determined using interest rate pricing models and interest rate related observable inputs.

12. 

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and other financial arrangements

The Company has various financial commitments and other arrangements including standby letters of credit and bonds 

that are not recorded as liabilities on the Company's consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2020:

•

•

Standby letters of credit issued by the Company's lenders under the Company's revolving credit facilities totaled $1.1 
million  as  of  December  31,  2020.  These  letters  of  credit  primarily  relate  to  the  Company's  workers'  compensation 
plans and construction activities; if drawn upon the Company would be obligated to reimburse the issuer.

Bonds related to the Company's construction and real estate activities totaled $277.9 million as of December 31, 2020. 
Approximately  $258.6  million  represents  the  face  value  of  construction  bonds  issued  by  third  party  sureties  (bid, 
performance  and  payment  bonds),  and  the  remainder  is  related  to  commercial  bonds  issued  by  third  party  sureties 
(permit,  subdivision,  license  and  notary  bonds);  if  drawn  upon,  the  Company  would  be  obligated  to  reimburse  the 
surety that issued the bond for the amount of the bond, reduced for the work completed to date. As of December 31, 
2020, the Company's maximum remaining exposure, in the event of defaults on all existing contractual construction 
obligations, was approximately $59.2 million.

The Company also provides certain bond indemnities and guarantees of indebtedness for certain of its unconsolidated 

affiliates that it accounts for as equity method investments (e.g., real estate joint ventures).

•

•

Bond  indemnities  are  provided  for  the  benefit  of  the  surety  in  exchange  for  the  issuance  of  surety  bonds  and  cover 
joint  venture  construction  activities  (such  as  project  amenities,  roads,  utilities,  and  other  infrastructure).  Under  such 
bond indemnities, the Company and the joint venture partners agree to indemnify the surety bond issuer from all losses 
and expenses arising from the failure of the joint venture to complete the specified bonded construction; the Company 
may  be  obligated  to  complete  construction  of  the  joint  ventures'  construction  projects  if  the  joint  venture  does  not 
perform.  The  maximum  potential  amount  of  aggregate  future  payments  is  a  function  of  the  amount  covered  by 
outstanding bonds at the time of default by the joint venture, reduced by the amount of work completed to date. 

Guarantees of indebtedness may be provided by the Company for the benefit of financial institutions providing credit 
to unconsolidated equity method investees. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had one arrangement with third 
party  lenders  that  provided  for  a  limited  guarantee  on  any  outstanding  amounts  related  to  an  unconsolidated  equity 
method investee's line of credit; related to borrowings on such line of credit by the equity method investee, there was 
none outstanding as of December 31, 2020.

The recorded amounts of the bond indemnities and guarantee of indebtedness were not material individually or in the 
aggregate. Other than those described above, obligations of the Company's joint ventures do not have recourse to the Company, 
and the Company's "at-risk" amounts are limited to its investment.

through  East  Maui  Irrigation  Company,  LLC  ("EMI"),  also  owned 
in  December  2018, 
approximately 16,000 acres of watershed lands in East Maui and also held four water licenses to approximately 30,000 acres 
owned by the State of Hawai‘i in East Maui. The sale to Mahi Pono included the sale of a 50% interest in EMI (which closed 
February  1,  2019),  and  provided  for  the  Company  and  Mahi  Pono,  through  EMI,  to  jointly  continue  the  existing  process  to 
secure a long-term lease from the State for delivery of irrigation water to Mahi Pono for use in Central Maui.

the  Company, 

The last of these water license agreements expired in 1986, and all four agreements were then extended as revocable 
permits  that  were  renewed  annually.  In  2001,  a  request  was  made  to  the  State  Board  of  Land  and  Natural  Resources  (the 
"BLNR") to replace these revocable permits with a long-term water lease. Pending the completion by the BLNR of a contested 
case hearing it ordered to be held on the request for the long-term lease, the BLNR has kept the existing permits on a holdover 
basis. Three parties (Healoha Carmichael; Lezley Jacintho; and Na Moku Aupuni O Ko‘olau Hui) filed a lawsuit on April 10, 
2015 (the "Initial Lawsuit") alleging that the BLNR has been renewing the revocable permits annually rather than keeping them 
in  holdover  status.  The  lawsuit  asked  the  court  to  void  the  revocable  permits  and  to  declare  that  the  renewals  were  illegally 
issued without preparation of an environmental assessment ("EA"). In December 2015, the BLNR decided to reaffirm its prior 
decisions to keep the permits in holdover status. This decision by the BLNR was challenged by the three parties. In January 
2016, the court ruled in the Initial Lawsuit that the renewals were not subject to the EA requirement, but that the BLNR lacked 
legal authority to keep the revocable permits in holdover status beyond one year (the "Initial Ruling"). The Initial Ruling was 
appealed to the Intermediate Court of Appeals ("ICA") of the State of Hawai‘i.

In  May  2016,  while  the  appeal  of  the  Initial  Ruling  was  pending,  the  Hawai‘i  State  Legislature  passed  House  Bill 
2501, which specified that the BLNR has the legal authority to issue holdover revocable permits for the disposition of water 
rights for a period not to exceed three years. The governor signed this bill into law as Act 126 in June 2016. Pursuant to Act 
126,  the  annual  authorization  of  the  existing  holdover  permits  was  sought  and  granted  by  the  BLNR  in  December  2016, 
November 2017 and November 2018 for calendar years 2017, 2018 and 2019. No extension of Act 126 was approved by the 
Hawai‘i State Legislature in 2019.

In  June  2019,  the  ICA  vacated  the  Initial  Ruling,  effectively  reversing  the  determination  that  the  BLNR  lacked 
authority  to  keep  the  revocable  permits  in  holdover  status  beyond  one  year  (the  "ICA  Ruling").  The  ICA  remanded  the  case 
back  to  the  trial  court  to  determine  whether  the  holdover  status  of  the  permits  was  both  (a)  "temporary"  and  (b)  in  the  best 
interest of the State, as required by statute. The plaintiffs filed a motion with the ICA for reconsideration of its decision, which 
was denied on July 5, 2019. On September 30, 2019, the plaintiffs filed a request with the Supreme Court of Hawai‘i to review 
and reverse the ICA Ruling. On November 25, 2019, the Supreme Court of Hawai‘i granted the plaintiffs' request to review the 
ICA Ruling. On October 11, 2019, the BLNR took up the renewal of all the existing water revocable permits in the state, acting 
under the ICA Ruling, and approved the continuation of the four East Maui water revocable permits for another one-year period 
through December 31, 2020; additionally, on November 13, 2020, another renewal of such permits through December 31, 2021 
was approved by the BLNR.

In a separate matter, on December 7, 2018, a contested case request filed by the Sierra Club (contesting the BLNR's 
November  2018  approval  of  the  2019  revocable  permits)  was  denied  by  the  BLNR.  On  January  7,  2019,  Sierra  Club  filed  a 
lawsuit in the circuit court of the first circuit in Hawai‘i against BLNR, A&B and EMI, seeking to invalidate the 2019 extension 
of the revocable permits for, among other things, failure to perform an EA. The lawsuit also seeks to have the BLNR enjoin 
A&B/EMI from diverting more than 25 million gallons a day until a permit or lease is properly issued by the BLNR, and for the 
imposition of certain conditions on the revocable permits by the BLNR. The count seeking to invalidate the revocable permits 
based  on  the  failure  to  perform  an  EA  has  been  dismissed  by  the  court,  based  on  the  ICA  Ruling  in  the  Initial  Lawsuit.  In 
connection with A&B’s obligation to continue the existing process to secure a long-term water lease from the State, A&B and 
EMI will defend against the remaining claims made by the Sierra Club.

The Company is a party to, or may be contingently liable in connection with, other legal actions arising in the normal 
conduct of its businesses, the outcomes of which, in the opinion of management after consultation with counsel, would not have 
a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements as a whole.

Further note that certain of the Company's properties and assets may become the subject of other types of claims and 
assessments at various times (e.g., environmental matters based on normal operations of such assets). Depending on the facts 
and circumstances surrounding such potential claims and assessments, the Company records an accrual if it is deemed probable 
that  a  liability  has  been  incurred  and  the  amount  of  loss  can  be  reasonably  estimated/valued  as  of  the  date  of  the  financial 
statements.

Revenue and Contract Balances 

The Company generates revenue through its Commercial Real Estate, Land Operations and Materials & Construction 
segments. Through its Commercial Real Estate segment, the Company owns and operates a portfolio of commercial real estate 
properties and generates income (i.e., revenue) as a lessor through leases of such assets. Refer to Note 14 for further discussion 
of  lessor  income  recognition.  The  Land  Operations  and  Materials  &  Construction  segments  generate  revenue  from  contracts 
with customers. The Company further disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers by revenue type when appropriate 
if the Company believes disaggregation best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of the Company's revenue 
and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Revenue by type for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 was 
as follows (in millions):

Timing  of  revenue  recognition  may  differ  from  the  timing  of  invoicing  to  customers.  Certain  construction  contracts 
include  retainage  provisions  that  are  customary  in  the  industry  (i.e.,  are  not  for  financing  purposes)  and  are  included  in 
Accounts  receivable  and  contracts  retention,  net.  The  balances  billed  but  not  paid  by  customers  pursuant  to  these  provisions 
generally become due upon completion and acceptance of the project work or products by the customers. Within Prepaid and 
other  assets,  the  Company  records  assets  for  "costs  and  estimated  earnings  in  excess  of  billings  on  uncompleted  contracts" 
which represent amounts earned and reimbursable under contracts, but have a conditional right for billing and payment, such as 
achievement of milestones or completion of the project. When events or conditions indicate that it is probable that the amounts 
outstanding  become  unbillable,  the  transaction  price  and  associated  contract  asset  is  reduced.  Within  Accrued  and  other 
liabilities,  the  Company  records  liabilities  for  "billings  in  excess  of  costs  and  estimated  earnings  on  uncompleted  contracts" 
which represent billings to customers on contracts in advance of work performed, including advance payments negotiated as a 
contract condition. Generally, unearned project-related costs will be earned over the next twelve months.

recognition guidance, could not be included in the transaction price (refer to Note 23).

For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized revenue of approximately $7.4 million related to the 
Company's  contract  liabilities  reported  as  of  December  31,  2019.  For  the  year  ended  December  31,  2019,  the  Company 
recognized  revenue  of  approximately  $4.7  million  related  to  the  Company's  contract  liabilities  reported  as  of  December  31,

Regarding  other  information  related  to  the  Company's  contracts  with  customers,  the  amount  of  revenue  recognized 
from performance obligations satisfied in prior periods (e.g., due to changes in transaction price) was not material in any of the 
periods presented. Further, the total amount of the transaction price allocated to either wholly unsatisfied or partially satisfied 
performance obligations was $120.8 million and $75.7 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company

The  Company  leases  real  estate  property  to  tenants  under  operating  leases.  Such  activity  is  primarily  composed  of 

operating leases within its CRE segment. 

Beginning in the quarter ended June 30, 2020, the Company began entering into rent relief arrangements with certain 
of its tenants due to the disruption from COVID-19 in the form of rent deferrals or other relief modifications that resulted in 
changes to fixed contractual lease payments for specified months. Such other relief modifications included changing the nature 
of payments from fixed to variable (i.e., variable based on a percentage of the tenant's sales, typically subject to a minimum 
"floor" amount) or, in some cases, payment forgiveness. Consistent with lease accounting guidance and recent interpretations 
provided by the FASB in the Lease Modification Q&A, the Company elected to treat such eligible lease concessions (i.e., such 
rent deferrals, fixed-to-variable modifications or payment forgiveness arrangements that do not result in a substantial increase in 
the rights of the lessor or obligations of the lessee) outside of the lease accounting modification framework. 

For  rent  deferrals,  consistent  with  an  acceptable  method  described  in  the  Lease  Modification  Q&A,  the  Company 
accounts for the event as if no changes to the lease contract were made and continues to record lease receivables and recognize 
income  during  the  deferral  period.  For  the  other  relief  modifications  mentioned  above  that  resulted  in  reductions  to  fixed 
contractual  lease  payments,  consistent  with  the  Lease  Modification  Q&A,  the  Company  reports,  for  periods  covered  by  the 
modification, reduced rental income (i.e., revenue) equal to the agreed-upon amounts (offset by any variable lease payments). 

The Company continues to assess collectability on all such amounts due under leases and only recognizes revenue to 
the  extent  such  amounts  are  probable  of  collection  (or  payment  is  received).  During  the  year  ended  December  31,  2020,  the 
Company projected a higher amount of uncollectable tenant billings due to COVID-19 and, as a result, the Company recorded 
reductions in revenue of $15.4 million related to aggregate charges for CRE accounts receivable and unbilled straight-line lease 
receivables for which the Company assessed that the tenant's future payment of amounts due under leases was not probable. 
Further, during the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded reductions of revenue of $3.6 million related to the 
allowance for doubtful accounts for other impacted operating lease receivables.

As  a  result  of  COVID-19,  certain  tenants  experiencing  economic  difficulties  have  sought  and  may  continue  to  seek 
current  and  future  rent  relief,  which  may  be  provided  in  the  form  of  additional  rent  deferrals  or  other  relief  modifications, 
among  other  possible  agreements.  The  Company  is  evaluating  each  request  on  a  case-by-case  basis  and  will  apply  lease 
accounting  guidance  (including  the  Lease  Modification  Q&A)  consistently  to  leases  with  similar  characteristics  and  similar 
circumstances. The future impact of any potential rent concessions in the context of lease accounting guidance and the Lease 
Modification Q&A is dependent upon the extent of relief granted to tenants as a result of COVID-19 in future periods and the 
elections made by the Company at the time of entering into such agreements.

The 2012 Incentive Compensation Plan ("2012 Plan") allows for the granting of stock options, restricted stock units 
and common stock.  During 2018, the Company retroactively approved an increase to the shares of common stock reserved for 
issuance  at  January  1,  2018  from  4.3  million  shares  to  5.3  million  shares.  As  of  December  31,  2020  there  were  1.4  million
remaining shares available for grants. The shares of common stock authorized to be issued under the 2012 Plan may be drawn 
from the shares of the Company's authorized but unissued common stock or from shares of its common stock that the Company 
acquires, including shares purchased on the open market or private transactions.

The 2012 Plan consists of four separate incentive compensation programs: (i) the discretionary grant program, (ii) the 
stock issuance program, (iii) the incentive bonus program and (iv) the automatic grant program for the non-employee members 
of  the  Company’s  Board  of  Directors.  Share-based  compensation  is  generally  awarded  under  three  of  the  four  programs,  as 
more fully described below.

Discretionary Grant Program: Under the Discretionary Grant Program, stock options may be granted with an exercise 
price no less than 100% of the fair market value (defined as the closing market price) of the Company’s common stock on the 
date of the grant. Options generally become exercisable ratably over three years and have a maximum contractual term of ten 
years.  There  were  no  option  grants  in  2020,  2019  or  2018,  and  the  Company  currently  has  no  plans  to  issue  options  in  the 
future. 

86

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Stock Issuance Program: Under the Stock Issuance Program, shares of common stock or restricted stock units may be

granted. Equity awards granted may be designated as time-based awards or market-based performance awards.

Automatic  Grant  Program:  At  each  annual  shareholder  meeting,  non-employee  directors  will  receive  an  award  of 

restricted stock units that entitle the holder to an equivalent number of shares of common stock upon vesting.

The time-based restricted stock units granted to employees vest ratably over a period of three years. The time-based 
restricted stock units granted to non-employee directors prior to 2018 vest ratably over a period of three years, and commencing 
in  2018,  the  time-based  restricted  stock  units  granted  to  non-employee  directors  vest  over  one  year.  The  market-based 
performance share units cliff vest over three years, provided that the total shareholder return of the Company's common stock 
over the relevant period meets or exceeds pre-defined levels of total shareholder returns relative to indices, as defined.

As  of  December  31,  2020,  there  was  $5.7  million  of  total  unrecognized  compensation  cost  related  to  non-vested 

restricted stock units granted under the 2012 plan; that cost is expected to be recognized over a period of three years.

The fair value of the Company's time-based awards is determined using the Company's stock price on the date of grant. 
The fair value of the Company's market-based awards is estimated using the Company's stock price on the date of grant and the 
probability of vesting using a Monte Carlo simulation with the following weighted-average assumptions:

Volatility of A&B common stock

Average volatility of peer companies

granted in 2020, 2019 and 2018 was $22.01, $20.05 and $28.76, respectively. No compensation cost is recognized for actual 
forfeitures of time-based or market-based awards if an employee is terminated prior to rendering the requisite service period. 
There was no tax benefit realized upon vesting for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018.

The  Company  has  funded  single-employer  defined  benefit  pension  plans  that  cover  certain  non-bargaining  unit 
employees and bargaining unit employees of the Company, excluding Grace Pacific. In addition, the Company has plans that 
provide retiree health care and life insurance benefits to certain salaried and hourly employees. Employees are generally eligible 
for such benefits upon retirement and completion of a specified number of years of credited service. The Company does not 
pre-fund  these  health  care  and  life  insurance  benefits  and  has  the  right  to  modify  or  terminate  certain  of  these  plans  in  the 
future. Certain groups of retirees pay a portion of the benefit costs.

Benefit Obligations, Plan Assets and Funded Status of the Plans:  The measurement date for the Company’s benefit 
plan  disclosures  is  December  31  of  each  year.  The  status  of  the  funded  defined  benefit  pension  plan  and  the  unfunded

Benefit  Plan  Assets  Investment  Policies  and  Target  Asset  Allocations:  As  the  plan  sponsor  for  its  defined  benefit 
pension  plan,  the  Company  is  responsible  for  the  investment  and  management  of  the  pension  plan  assets.  The  Company 
manages the pension plan assets based upon a liability-driven investment strategy, which seeks to increase the correlation of the 
pension plan assets and liabilities to reduce the volatility of the plan's funded status and, over time, improve the funded status of 
the  plan.  As  a  result,  the  asset  allocation  of  the  defined  benefit  pension  plan  is  weighted  toward  fixed  income  investments, 
which  reduces  investment  volatility,  but  also  reduces  investment  returns  over  time.  In  connection  with  the  liability-driven 
investment  strategy,  the  Company  appointed  an  investment  adviser  that  directs  investments  and  selects  investment  options, 
based on established guidelines.

The  Company’s  target  allocation  by  asset  category  as  of  December  31,  2020,  and  the  weighted-average  asset 

allocations at December 31, 2020 and 2019 were as follows:

The Company’s pension plan assets are held in a master trust and stated at estimated fair value, which is based on the 
fair values of the underlying investments. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is 
recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Investments in funds that are measured at fair value using the NAV per share practical expedient in accordance with 
ASC 820 have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy tables above. The NAV is based on the fair value of the underlying 
assets  owned  by  the  fund  and  is  determined  by  the  investment  manager  or  custodian  of  the  fund.  The  fair  value  amounts 
presented  are  intended  to  permit  reconciliation  of  the  fair  value  hierarchy  to  the  amounts  presented  in  the  fair  value  of  plan 
assets. These investments primarily include other fixed income investments and securities.

Expected Rate-of-Return on Plan Assets: The expected return on plan assets assumption (3.7% for 2020 according to 
table  on  assumptions  used  in  plan  accounting  below)  is  principally  based  on  the  long-term  outlook  for  various  asset  class 
returns, asset mix, the historical performance of the plan assets under the liability-driven investment strategy, and a comparison 
of the estimated long-term return calculated to the distribution of assumptions adopted by other plans with similar asset mixes. 
For  the  years  ended  December  31,  2020  and  2019,  the  plan  assets  experienced  a  positive  return  of 12.7%  and  18.1%, 
respectively.

Accumulated Benefit Obligation for Defined Benefit Pension Plans: For the plans covering employees who are 
members of collective bargaining units, the benefit formulas are determined according to the collective bargaining agreements, 
either using career average pay as the base or a flat dollar amount per year of service.

In  2007,  the  Company  changed  the  traditional  defined  benefit  pension  plan  formula  for  new  non-bargaining  unit 
employees hired after January 1, 2008 and, replaced it with a cash balance defined benefit pension plan formula. Subsequently, 
effective January 1, 2012, the Company changed the benefits under its traditional defined benefit plans for non-bargaining unit 
employees  hired  before  January  1,  2008  and,  replaced  the  benefit  with  the  same  cash  balance  defined  benefit  pension  plan 
formula  provided  to  those  employees  hired  after  January  1,  2008.  Retirement  benefits  under  the  cash  balance  pension  plan 
formula are based on a fixed percentage of eligible compensation, plus interest. The plan interest credit rate will vary from year-
to-year based on the 10-year U.S. Treasury rate. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company amended the cash 
balance  pension  plan  such  that,  effective  January  1,  2020,  benefit  accruals  under  the  cash  balance  formula  would  cease  and 
would be replaced with a non-elective contribution by the Company into a defined contribution plan. All accumulated benefits 
under the traditional defined benefit pension plan and the cash balance pension plan will remain credited to employees' accounts 
under the amendments made in 2019. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company amended the traditional defined 
benefit pension plan formula for remaining bargaining unit employees to cease accruals effective January 1, 2021.

The accumulated benefit obligation for the Company’s qualified pension plans was $218.7 million and $204.4 million

at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Estimated Future Contributions: Contributions are determined annually for each plan by the Company’s pension 

Administrative Committee, based upon the actuarially determined minimum required contribution under the Employee 
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, the Pension Protection Act of 2006, and the maximum deductible 
contribution allowed for tax purposes. In 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company made no contributions to its defined benefit 
pension plans. The Company’s funding policy is to contribute cash to its pension plans so that it meets at least the minimum 
contribution requirements.

Unrecognized gains and losses of the post-retirement benefit plans are amortized over 5 years. Although current health 
costs are expected to increase, the Company attempts to mitigate these increases by maintaining caps on certain of its benefit 
plans, using lower cost health care plan options where possible, requiring that certain groups of employees pay a portion of their 
benefit  costs,  self-insuring  for  certain  insurance  plans,  encouraging  wellness  programs  for  employees,  and  implementing 
measures to mitigate future benefit cost increases.

Assumptions  in  Plan  Accounting:  The  weighted  average  assumptions  used  to  determine  benefit  information  during 

2020, 2019, and 2018 were as follows:

Multiemployer Plans: Grace Pacific and certain subsidiaries contribute to a number of multiemployer defined benefit 
pension plans under the terms of collective-bargaining agreements that cover their union-represented employees. The risks of 
participating in these multiemployer plans are different from single-employer plans in the following aspects:

a. Assets contributed to the multiemployer plan by one employer may be used to provide benefits to employees of 

other participating employers.

b.

c.

If a participating employer stops contributing to the plan, the unfunded obligations of the plan may be borne by 
the remaining participating employers.

If the Company chooses to stop participating in some of its multiemployer plans, the Company may be required to 
pay those plans an amount based on the underfunded status of the plan, referred to as a withdrawal liability.

The Company's participation in these plans and the historical activity for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019
and 2018 are outlined in the table below. Regarding the Hawai‘i Laborers Trust Funds, GPRS and GPRM (as applicable prior 
the Company's disposal of GPRM in the year ended December 31, 2020) had separate contracts and are presented separately in 
the table below to reflect the historical contributions by relevant entity.

The  "EIN  Pension  Plan  Number"  column  provides  the  Employee  Identification  Number  (EIN)  and  the  3-digit  plan 
number, if applicable. The most recent Pension Protection Act ("PPA") zone status is based on the most recent annual report 
received from the plan for the following plan year ends (as certified by the plan's actuary) :

•

•

•

Pension Trust Fund for Operating Engineers Pension Plan - December 31, 2019

Laborer's National (Industrial) Pension Fund - December 31, 2019

Hawai‘i Laborer's Trust Funds - February 29, 2020

92

The zone status listed for each plan is determined, in part and among other factors, as follows: 

•

•

•

•

Green - plan is funded more than 80%.

Yellow - meets one of the following criteria: (1) plan is funded between 65% and 80% funded or (2) plan has an 
accumulated funding deficiency or is expected to have a deficiency in any of the next six years.

Orange - Plan meets both of the criteria listed above applicable to the yellow zone.

Red - Plan is less than  65% funded and is in need of reorganization.

The "FIP/RP Status Pending/Implemented" column indicates plans for which a financial improvement plan (FIP) or a 
rehabilitation plan (RP) is either pending or has been implemented and the "Surcharge Imposed" column represents whether the 
Company has paid a surcharge to the plan as of December 31, 2020. The "Expiration Date" column describes the expiration 
dates of the collective-bargaining agreements requiring contributions to the plan.

As of the end of each respective period, based upon the most recently available annual reports for the applicable plan 
year,  plans  reporting  that  the  Company's  contributions  represented  more  than  5%  of  the  plan's  total  contributions  for  the 
applicable plan year were as follows: as of December 31, 2020, there were no such plans; as of December 31, 2019, there was 
one plan (Hawai‘i Laborers Trust Fund); as of December 31, 2018, there were no such plans. 

A&B Defined Contribution Plans: The Company sponsors defined contribution plans that qualify under Section 401(k) 
of the Code and provides matching contributions of up to 3% of eligible compensation. The Company’s matching contributions 
expensed under these plans totaled $0.6 million, $0.2 million and $0.6 million in the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 
2018, respectively. The Company also maintains profit sharing plans and, if a minimum threshold of Company performance is 
achieved,  provides  contributions  of  1%  to  5%,  depending  upon  Company  performance  above  the  minimum  threshold.  There 
were  $0.5  million,  $0.3  million  and  $0.4  million  of  profit  sharing  contribution  expenses  recognized  in  the  years  ended 
December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

As noted above, during the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company amended the cash balance pension plan such 
that, effective January 1, 2020, benefit accruals under the cash balance formula would cease and would be replaced with a non-
elective  contribution  of  3%  of  the  participant's  annual  eligible  compensation  made  by  the  Company  into  the  participant's 
defined contribution plan. The Company's contribution expensed under this non-elective component of the defined contribution 
plan totaled $0.7 million in 2020 (and none in prior periods).

Grace Pacific 401(k) Plans: The Company allows for discretionary non-elective employer contributions up to the sum 
of 10% of each eligible employee's compensation for the 12 months in the plan year, subject to certain limitations. Management 
revenue  sharing  bonuses  can  be  deferred  to  the  employee's  401(k)  account,  but  will  be  subject  to  the  IRS'  annual  limit  on 
employee elective deferrals. Grace Pacific recognized discretionary employer contribution and revenue sharing expense of $1.1 
million, $1.1 million and $1.8 million in the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Income Taxes

For taxable years prior to 2017, the Company filed a consolidated federal income tax return, which included all of its 

wholly owned subsidiaries. On October 15, 2018, the Company filed its 2017 Form 1120-REIT with the Internal Revenue 
Service. The Company's taxable REIT subsidiary ("TRS") filed separately as a C corporation. The Company also files separate 
income tax returns in various states. The Company completed the necessary preparatory work and obtained the necessary 

93

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
approvals such that the Company believes it has been organized and operates in a manner that enables it to qualify, and 
continue to qualify, as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.

As a REIT, the Company will generally be allowed a deduction for dividends that it pays, and therefore, will not be 
subject to United States federal corporate income tax on its taxable income that is currently distributed to shareholders. The 
Company may be subject to certain state gross income and franchise taxes, as well as taxes on any undistributed income and 
federal and state corporate taxes on any income earned by its TRS. In addition, the Company could be subject to corporate 
income taxes related to assets held by the REIT that are sold during the 5-year period following the date of conversion, to the 
extent such sold assets had a built-in gain as of January 1, 2017. The Company does not intend to dispose of any REIT assets 
after the REIT conversion within the 5-year period, unless various tax planning strategies, including Code §1031 like-kind 
exchanges or other deferred tax structures are available to mitigate the built-in gain tax liability of conversion.

Distributions with respect to the Company’s common stock can be characterized for federal income tax purposes as 

ordinary income, capital gains, unrecaptured section 1250 gains, return of capital, or a combination thereof. Taxable 
distributions paid for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were classified as ordinary income. Distributions paid for 
the year ended December 31, 2018 included taxable ordinary income and a non-taxable return of capital.

The income tax expense (benefit) on income (loss) from continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2020, 

2019 and 2018 consisted of the following (in millions):

The change in the Company's effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2020 as compared to the year ended 
December 31, 2019 is primarily due to impairments incurred in 2019, changes in the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets 
during the year and overall increase in pretax book income for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Federal tax credit carryforwards at December 31, 2020 totaled $8.7 million and will expire in 2036. State tax credit 
carryforwards  at  December  31,  2020  totaled  $6.9  million  and  may  be  carried  forward  indefinitely  under  state  law.  As  of 
December  31,  2020,  the  Company  had  gross  federal  net  operating  loss  carryforwards  of  $74.9  million  ($15.7  million  tax-
effected),  of  which  $11.5  million  ($2.4  million  tax-effected)  will  expire  in  2037,  with  the  remaining  being  carried  forward 
indefinitely  under  federal  law.  As  of  December  31,  2020,  the  Company  had  state  net  operating  loss  carryforwards  of  $94.3 
million  ($4.8  million  tax-effected),  of  which  $21.6  million  ($1.1  million  tax-effected)  of  Hawai‘i  net  operating  loss 
carryforwards will expire in 2037, and the remaining being carried forward indefinitely.

A valuation allowance must be provided if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets 
will not be realized, based upon consideration of all positive and negative evidence. Sources of evidence include, among other 
things, a history of pretax earnings or losses, expectations of future results, tax planning opportunities and appropriate tax law.

Due to the recent losses the Company has generated in its TRS, the Company believes that it is more likely than not 
that its U.S. and state deferred tax assets will not be realized as of December 31, 2020. Therefore, the Company recorded an 
increase in the valuation allowance of $4.7 million on its net U.S. and state deferred tax assets for the current period. Should the 
Company  determine  that  it  would  be  able  to  realize  its  deferred  tax  assets  in  the  foreseeable  future,  an  adjustment  to  the 
deferred tax assets may cause a material increase to income in the period such determination is made. Significant management 
judgment is required in determining the period in which reversal of a valuation allowance should occur. The net change to the 
valuation allowance recorded during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 were as follows (in millions):

The Company receives an income tax benefit for exercised stock options calculated as the difference between the fair 
market value of the stock issued at the time of exercise and the option exercise price, tax-effected. The Company also receives 
an income tax benefit for restricted stock units when they vest, measured as the fair market value of the stock issued at the time 
of  vesting,  tax  effected.  Due  to  the  Company's  valuation  allowance  in  the  respective  periods,  there  were  no  net  tax  benefits 
recognized from share-based transactions for 2020, 2019 or 2018.

The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties on income taxes as a component of income tax expense. As of 

December 31, 2020, accrued interest and penalties were not material. The Company has not identified any material 
unrecognized tax positions and as such has no related interest or penalty accruals.

As of December 31, 2020, tax years 2017 and later are open to audit by the tax authorities. The Company does not 
believe that the result of any potential audits will have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial condition 
or liquidity.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was 
signed into law on March 27, 2020, providing companies with various tax relief provisions and other stimulus measures. Such 
measures include, but are not limited to, temporary changes regarding the prior and future utilization of net operating losses, 
technical  corrections  to  prior  tax  legislation  for  tax  depreciation  of  certain  qualified  improvement  property,  acceleration  of 
AMT  credit  refunds,  and  changes  to  business  interest  limitations.  The  Consolidated  Appropriations  Act  was  also  signed  into 
law on December 27, 2020 to provide further relief measures and renew various expiring tax provisions. 

Additionally,  the  IRS  issued  final  regulations  and  proposed  regulations  on  calculating  the  limitation  on  business 
interest  expense,  the  allowance  for  the  first-year  depreciation  deduction  under  Code  Section  168(k),  as  amended  by  the  Tax 
Cuts and Jobs Act, for qualified property acquired and placed in service after September 27, 2017, and meals and entertainment 
deductions. 

Based on the Company's evaluation, these regulations did not have a material impact on the income tax provision for 

the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Earnings Per Share ("EPS")

Basic  earnings  per  common  share  excludes  dilution  and  is  calculated  by  dividing  net  earnings  allocated  to  common 
shares by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per common share is 
calculated by dividing net earnings allocated to common shares by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding 
for the period, as adjusted for the potential dilutive effect of non-participating share-based awards, as well as adjusted by the 
number of additional shares, if any, that would have been outstanding had the potentially dilutive common shares been issued.

The following table provides a reconciliation of income (loss) from continuing operations to income (loss) from 

continuing operations available to A&B shareholders and net income (loss) available to A&B shareholders for the years ended

Related Party Transactions

Construction Contracts and Material Sales. The Company enters into contracts in the ordinary course of business, as a 
supplier, with affiliate entities that require accounting under the equity method due to the Company's financial interests in such 
entities (refer to Note 5) and also with affiliate parties that are members in entities in which the Company also is a member and 
holds  a  controlling  financial  interest.  Related  to  the  periods  during  which  such  relationship  existed,  revenues  earned  from 
transactions with such affiliates were $7.4 million, $10.5 million, and $16.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2020, 
2019  and  2018,  respectively.  Expenses  recognized  from  transactions  with  such  affiliates  were  $1.1  million,  $3.1  million  and 
less  than  $0.1  million  for  the  years  ended  December  31,  2020,  2019  and  2018  Receivables  from  these  affiliates  were  $0.9 
million and $0.2 million at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Amounts due to these affiliates were $0.3 
million and $1.2 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Commercial  Real  Estate.  The  Company  entered  into  contracts  in  the  ordinary  course  of  business,  as  a  lessor  of 
property,  with  certain  entities  that  were  partially  owned  by  a  former  director  of  the  Company,  as  lessee.  Revenue  from 
transactions with these entities (confined to periods during which the former director was actively serving the Company) was 
approximately  $1.3  million  and  $4.3  million  for  the  years  ended  December  31,  2019  and  2018,  respectively.  There  were  no 
such  amounts  to  report  during  the  year  ended  December  31,  2020  (i.e.,  subsequent  to  the  former  director's  service  to  the 
Company).

Land Operations. During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized $3.1 million, 
$2.2  million  and  $1.1  million,  respectively,  related  to  revenue  for  materials  and  services  provided  to  certain  unconsolidated 
investments  in  affiliates  and  interest  earned  on  notes  receivables  from  such  related  parties.  Receivables  from  service 
arrangements with these affiliates were less than $0.1 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. Notes receivable from related 
parties were held at carrying values of  $9.5 million and $13.1 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, related 
to a construction loan secured by a mortgage on real property with one of the Company's joint ventures.

During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of five commercial units at The 

Collection high-rise residential condominium project on Oahu from its joint venture partners for $6.9 million paid in cash.

22. 

Segment Results

Operating  segments  are  components  of  an  enterprise  that  engage  in  business  activities  from  which  it  may  earn 
revenues  and  incur  expenses,  whose  operating  results  are  regularly  reviewed  by  the  chief  operating  decision  maker  to  make 
decisions  about  resources  to  be  allocated  to  the  segment  and  assess  its  performance,  and  for  which  discrete  financial 
information is available. The Company operates and reports on three segments: Commercial Real Estate; Land Operations; and 
Materials & Construction.

The Commercial Real Estate segment owns, operates and manages a portfolio of retail, industrial and office properties 
in  Hawai‘i  totaling  3.9  million  square  feet  of  gross  leasable  area.  The  Company  also  leases  approximately  153.8  acres  of 
commercial land in Hawai‘i to third-party lessees under ground leases.

98

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The Land Operations segment generates its revenues from real estate development and land sales, income/loss from 

real estate joint ventures, hydroelectric energy and other legacy business activities in Hawai‘i.

The  Materials  &  Construction  segment  performs  asphalt  paving  as  prime  contractor  and  subcontractor;  imports  and 
sells liquid asphalt; mines, processes and sells rock and sand aggregates; produces and sells asphaltic concrete; provides and 
sells  various  construction-  and  traffic-control-related  products  and,  historically,  manufactured  and  sold  precast  concrete 
products through GPRM (until GPRM's disposal in the year ended December 31, 2020).

The accounting policies of the operating segments are described in Note 2. Reportable segments are measured based 
on  operating  profit,  exclusive  of  interest  expense,  general  corporate  expenses  and  income  taxes.  Revenues  related  to 
transactions between reportable segments have been eliminated in consolidation. Transactions between reportable segments are 
accounted for on the same basis as transactions with unrelated third parties.

A significant portion of Materials & Construction revenue and accounts receivable is generated directly and indirectly 
from  projects  administered  by  the  City  and  County  of  Honolulu  and  from  the  State  of  Hawai‘i.  Reductions  in  funding  of 
infrastructure  projects  by  these  government  agencies  could  reduce  revenue  and  profits  from  the  M&C  segment.  Further, 
although the customer mix of real estate sales in our Land Operations segment may be diverse in any given period, during the 
years  ended  December  31,  2018  and  December  31,  2019,  the  Land  Operations  segment  recognized  gross  profits  of 
$162.2 million and $6.7 million, respectively, from the Agricultural Land Sale to Mahi Pono.

Agricultural Land Sale 

On December 17, 2018, A&B entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement and Escrow Instructions (the "PSA") with 
Mahi  Pono  (the  "Buyer")  related  to  the  Agricultural  Land  Sale,  which  resulted  in  the  sale  of  approximately  41,000  acres  of 
Maui  agricultural  land  and  100%  of  the  Company's  ownership  interest  in  Central  Maui  Feedstocks  LLC  and  Kulolio  Ranch 
LLC  in  exchange  for  cash  consideration  of  approximately  $261.6  million,  less  customary  closing  costs  and  fees,  subject  to 
certain contingencies and reserves of approximately $19.5 million. The Agricultural Land Sale closed on December 20, 2018, 
with  the  exception  of  approximately  800  acres  that  were  delivered  to  the  Buyer  in  February  2019.  In  connection  with  the 
Agricultural Land Sale, the Company recognized gross profit of approximately $162.2 million during the year ended December 
31, 2018, and $6.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2019. The Company also deferred approximately $62.0 million
of  revenue  related  to  certain  performance  obligations  involving  securing  adequate  water  to  support  the  Buyer's  agricultural 
plans  for  the  land,  through  an  agreement  with  the  State  of  Hawai‘i  to  provide  rights  to  access  state  water  for  agricultural 
irrigation (“State Water Lease”), as well as ensuring that the Buyer has continued access to water prior to the issuance of the 
State  Water  Lease.  Under  the  terms  of  the  PSA,  the  Company  may  be  required  to  remit  amounts  up  to  $62.0  million to  the 
Buyer  to  the  extent  performance  obligations  are  not  met  (recorded  as  deferred  revenue  of  $62.0  million  as  of  December  31, 
2020 and 2019).

The Agricultural Land Sale was deemed an asset sale and represents normal recurring activity for the Land Operations 
segment. Revenue and the cost of the land sold were presented within Operating Revenue: Land Operations and Cost of Land 
Operations, respectively, in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. 

The  disposition  of  the  Agricultural  Land  Sale  did  not  qualify  to  be  reported  as  discontinued  operations  since  the 
disposition did not represent a strategic shift in the Company’s operations. Accordingly, the operating results of the assets are 
reflected in the Company’s results from continuing operations for all periods presented through the date of disposition.

In  addition  to  the  Agricultural  Land  Sale,  in  February  2019,  the  Company  sold  50%  of  its  interest  in  East  Maui 
Irrigation Company, LLC ("EMI") to the Buyer in exchange for cash proceeds of $2.7 million and concurrently entered into a 
joint venture operating agreement that governs the operation and management of EMI.

Long-lived Assets - Impairments, Held for Sale or Disposals

2018 impairments of assets held and used

During the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company concluded that the carrying values of certain paving and quarry assets 
in  its  Materials  &  Construction  segment  were  not  recoverable  due  primarily  to  persisting,  competitive  market  pressures  that 
have negatively affected sales and margins. As a result, the Company recorded impairment charges of $40.6 million during the 
fourth  quarter  of  2018  to  reduce  the  carrying  amounts  to  the  estimated  fair  value.  The  Company  classified  these  fair  value 
measurements as Level 3. The weighted average discount rate used in the intangible valuation was 13.5%. Changes to Materials 
& Construction fixed assets and intangible assets for the year ended December 31, 2018 including such impairments were as

Port Allen solar power facility asset sale

As described in Item 2, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, McBryde Resources, Inc., has produced 

renewable energy through hydroelectric and solar power facilities on Kauai. Energy generated from these hydroelectric and 
solar power facilities has been used for A&B-related operations or sold to Kauai Island Utility Cooperative. Such activities are 
included and reported in the Land Operations segment.

In connection with its strategy to simplify its business, during the quarter ended September 30, 2020, the Company 

executed a purchase and sale agreement and consummated the sale of assets related to its solar power facility in Port Allen on 
Kauai for purchase consideration (measured at the date of disposal) of approximately $17.1 million. As a result, the Company 
derecognized the carrying value of the net assets of the disposal group and recorded a gain on disposal of approximately $8.9 

101

 
 
 
 
 
 
million which is included in Gain (loss) on disposal of non-core assets, net in the consolidated statements of operations. The 
disposal was not considered individually significant and does not qualify for presentation and disclosure as a discontinued 
operation.

GPRM sale of subsidiary

As described in Note 1, as of December 31, 2019, the Company owned a 51% interest in GPRM, a provider of precast/

prestressed concrete products and services, which the Company consolidated due to holding a controlling financial interest 
through its majority voting interests and reported as part of the M&C segment. Subsequent to the quarter ended March 31, 
2020, GPRM met the criteria to be classified as held for sale. As a result, in the quarter ended June 30, 2020, the Company 
recorded a write-down of $5.6 million (based on fair value less cost to sell) related to the disposal group which was included in 
Impairment of assets in the consolidated statements of operations. 

On June 29, 2020, the Company consummated the sale of its 51% ownership interest in GPRM to an unrelated third-

party through an LLC interest purchase agreement in exchange for cash proceeds received/to be received of approximately $5.0 
million.  In connection with the consummation of the disposal of GPRM, the Company recorded an entry to deconsolidate the 
carrying amounts of the GPRM disposal group and recognized a net loss of $0.1 million, which was included in Gain (loss) on 
disposal of non-core assets, net in the consolidated statements of operations.

The GPRM disposal was not considered individually significant and does not qualify for presentation and disclosure as 

a discontinued operation. Subsequent to the disposal of GPRM, the Company's goodwill balance was $10.5 million as of 
December 31, 2020, of which $8.7 million relates to the Commercial Real Estate segment and the remainder relates to GPRS.

Subsequent Events 

On February 23, 2021, the Company's Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.15 per share of outstanding 

common stock, payable on April 2, 2021 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 18, 2021.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures 

The  Company's  management,  with  the  participation  of  the  Company's  Chief  Executive  Officer  and  Chief  Financial 
Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 
13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, 
the  Company's  Chief  Executive  Officer  and  Chief  Financial  Officer  have  concluded  that,  as  of  December  31,  2020,  the 
Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have not been any changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in 
Rules  13a-15(f)  and  15d-15(f)  under  the  Exchange  Act)  during  the  Company's  fiscal  fourth  quarter  that  have  materially 
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The  management  of  Alexander  &  Baldwin,  Inc.  has  the  responsibility  for  establishing  and  maintaining  adequate 
internal  control  over  financial  reporting.  Internal  control  over  financial  reporting  is  defined  in  Rule  13a-15(f)  and  15d-15(f) 
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s 
principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the Company’s board of directors, management and other 
personnel  to  provide  reasonable  assurance  regarding  the  reliability  of  financial  reporting  and  the  preparation  of  financial 
statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 
and includes those policies and procedures that:

•

Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and 
dispositions of assets of the Company; 

102

•

•

Provide  reasonable  assurance  that  transactions  are  recorded  as  necessary  to  permit  preparation  of  financial 
statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that 
receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management 
and directors of the Company; and 

Provide  reasonable  assurance  regarding  prevention  or  timely  detection  of  unauthorized  acquisition,  use  or 
disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting only provides reasonable assurance with 
respect  to  financial  statement  presentation  and  preparation  and  cannot  provide  absolute  assurance  that  all  control  issues  and 
instances of fraud, if any, will be detected. Management does not expect that the Company’s internal controls will prevent or 
detect all errors and all fraud. Additionally, the design of a control system must consider the benefits of the controls relative to 
their costs. Projections  of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risks that controls  may become 
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 
2020. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the 
Treadway  Commission  (COSO)  in  Internal  Control-Integrated  Framework  (2013).  Based  on  its  assessment,  management 
believes that, as of December 31, 2020, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective. 

The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte & Touche LLP, has issued an audit report on 

the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. That report appears below.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of Alexander & Baldwin, Inc.

Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) 
as  of  December  31,  2020,  based  on  criteria  established  in  Internal  Control  —  Integrated  Framework  (2013)  issued  by  the 
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all 
material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria established in 
Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO. 

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) 
(PCAOB),  the  consolidated  financial  statements  as  of  and  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2020,  of  the  Company  and  our 
report dated February 26, 2021, expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. 

Basis for Opinion 

The  Company’s  management  is  responsible  for  maintaining  effective  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  and  for  its 
assessment  of  the  effectiveness  of  internal  control  over  financial  reporting,  included  in  the  accompanying  Management’s 
Annual  Report  on  Internal  Control  over  Financial  Reporting.  Our  responsibility  is  to  express  an  opinion  on  the  Company’s 
internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are 
required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable 
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the 
audit  to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether  effective  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  was  maintained  in  all 
material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk 
that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the 
assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit 
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. 

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting 

A  company’s  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  is  a  process  designed  to  provide  reasonable  assurance  regarding  the 
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally 

103

accepted  accounting  principles.  A  company’s  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  includes  those  policies  and  procedures 
that  (1)  pertain  to  the  maintenance  of  records  that,  in  reasonable  detail,  accurately  and  fairly  reflect  the  transactions  and 
dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit 
preparation  of  financial  statements  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles,  and  that  receipts  and 
expenditures  of  the  company  are  being  made  only  in  accordance  with  authorizations  of  management  and  directors  of  the 
company;  and  (3)  provide  reasonable  assurance  regarding  prevention  or  timely  detection  of  unauthorized  acquisition,  use,  or 
disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. 

Because  of  its  inherent  limitations,  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  may  not  prevent  or  detect  misstatements.  Also, 
projections  of  any  evaluation  of  effectiveness  to  future  periods  are  subject  to  the  risk  that  controls  may  become  inadequate 
because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION

Termination of Certain Employee Benefit Plans

On  February  23,  2021,  the  Company’s  Board  of  Directors  approved  a  plan  to  effect  the  termination  of  the  A&B 
Retirement  Plan  for  Salaried  Employees  of  Alexander  &  Baldwin,  LLC  and  the  Pension  Plan  for  Employees  of  A&B 
Agricultural Companies (collectively, the “Plans”), to be effective May 31, 2021.

In addition, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to take the following steps to prepare for the termination 

of the Plans, which are tax-qualified defined benefit plans, including:

a. Prepare  and  execute  any  necessary  amendments  to  the  Plans  and/or  restatements  regarding  the  termination  of  the 

Plans, including amending the Plans to provide for a limited lump-sum window for eligible participants;

b. Prepare and file an Application for Determination for Terminating Plan with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) for 

a determination as to the tax-qualified status of the Plans at the time of termination; and

c. Prepare and file all appropriate notices and documents related to the termination of the Plans and wind-down with the 
Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (the “PBGC”), the U.S. Department of Labor, the Internal Revenue Service, the 
trustee and any other appropriate parties.

Except for retirees currently receiving payments under the Plans, participants will have the choice of receiving a single 
lump sum payment or an annuity from a highly-rated insurance company that will pay and administer future benefit payments. 
The  amount  of  any  lump  sum  payment  will  equal  the  actuarial-equivalent  present  value  of  the  participant’s  accrued  benefit 
under  the  applicable  pension  plan  as  of  the  distribution  date.  Annuity  payments  to  current  retirees  will  continue  under  their 
current elections, but will be administered by the selected insurance company.

In  2022,  after  receiving  approval  from  the  IRS  and  the  PBGC  and  following  completion  of  the  limited  lump-sum 
offering, the Company will make an additional cash contribution in order to fully fund the Plans on a plan termination basis, 
followed  by  the  purchase  of  annuity  contracts  to  transfer  its  remaining  liabilities  under  the  Plans.  These  additional  cash 
contributions are expected to range between $25 million and $40 million. However, the actual amount of this cash contribution 
requirement  will  depend  upon  the  nature  and  timing  of  participant  settlements,  interest  rates,  as  well  as  prevailing  market 
conditions. In addition, the Company expects to recognize non-cash pension settlement charges totaling between $80 million 
and  $90  million,  related  to  actuarial  losses  currently  in  Accumulated  other  comprehensive  income  (loss)  in  the  consolidated 
balance sheets, upon settlement of the obligations of the Plans. These charges are currently expected to occur in 2022, with the 
specific timing and final amounts dependent upon completion of the activities enumerated above.

Executive Simplification Incentive Program

On February 22, 2021, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved the Executive Simplification 
Incentive Program (the “Program”), which is intended to reward the execution of the Company’s simplification strategy with 
respect to monetizing three asset groups: certain of the Company’s agricultural landholdings and renewable energy assets; the 
Company’s materials and construction business; and the Company’s interest in the Kukui‘ula joint venture. The results relating 
to these three asset groups will be addressed by the Program and not the Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. Performance Improvement 
Incentive Plan (“PIIP”). Christopher J. Benjamin, Brett A. Brown, Lance K. Parker, Nelson N. S. Chun and Meredith J. Ching 
are  participants  in  the  Program.  On  a  quarterly  basis  in  2021  and  2022,  the  Compensation  Committee  will  determine  the 
payouts, if any, for the participants. A participant’s potential payout is based on a percentage of the participant’s then-current 
target  under  the  PIIP.  The  applicable  percentage  of  PIIP  target  under  the  Program  is  as  follows:  Mr.  Benjamin:  100%;  Mr. 
Brown: 100%; Mr. Parker: 100%; Mr. Chun: 75%; Ms. Ching: 75%. Based on PIIP targets as of April 1, 2021, the maximum 
potential payouts under the program are as follows, respectively: $781,770; $336,000; $336,000; $154,147; and $132,000.
